Obituary:
Hope Elizabeth Hofacker was born asleep in Christ on Thursday, April 5, 2001, and is now one of God's little angels. She will be sadly missed by her parents, Jeffrey and Laura (Smet) Hofacker, Appleton; her older brother, Lathan. She also leaves behind her grandparents, Paul Hofacker, Mary Ellen Hofacker and Clarence (Margaret) Smet; aunts and uncles, Dan Hofacker, Greg (Jodi) Hofacker, Jenny (fiance Andy Strelow) Hofacker, Tom (Sue) Smet, Sue (Bob) Christensen, Joann (Lenny) Smurawa, Bob Smet, Linda (Mike) Nolan and John (Renee) Smet. Hope is further survived by her cousins, Collin, Caden, Craig, Adam, Nicole, Paul, Jerrod, Gary, Janice, Trisha and Erica. A Mass of Christian Burial will be 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 10, 2001, at St. Edward Catholic Church, N2921 State Highway 47, Appleton, with Father Charles Brooks officiating. Visitation will be from 9- 10:30 a.m. at the church. Interment in St. Edward Cemetery will follow the service. The family would like to extend a special thanks to the doctors and nurses of Appleton Medical Center and also to clergy, family and friends for all of their support and prayers. In lieu of other expressions of sympathy, a memorial fund is being established in Hope's name. When God calls little children to dwell with Him above, We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love. For no heartache compares with the death of one small child Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold. So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few To make the land of heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try. The saddest word mankind knows will always be goodbye. So when a little child departs, we who are left behind Must realize God loves children, angels are hard to find. Valley Funeral Home 2211 N. Richmond St. 733-5435
