Letter: Hope’s generosity during tragedy appreciated

From: Teresa Covert

Hope

I wanted to write a letter to end 2018. I was lucky enough to be born in Bartholomew County. I graduated from Hauser High School in 1968. I have been proud of my school always. The community has always been good to me. But this year I saw and experienced a new side of Hope.

My grandson, Trevor Frazee, died Aug. 23, 2018 of a massive blood clot. A counselor from the high school came to the hospital to check on the situation. Officials wanted to give the students true information about his death. They made sure that every student at the school knew what was gong on. Thank you Hauser High School!

Then the community made sure that we had everything that we needed for his burial. The community raised money for his gravestone. They made sure that we were fed after the funeral. Hope Moravian and Petersville United Methodist churches deserve thanks. We were prayed over, visited and showered with cards of sympathy. They provided counselors for the students.

The Hope FFA came to the funeral in dress uniforms. The members stayed after the funeral meal, cleaned up and put the Moravian Church back in order.

These past moths have been very difficult. But thankfully we live in Hope. An amazing surprising and wonderful little town. Hope’s generosity and outpouring of love are appreciated.
