The youngest of the Roy and Rose Hope family is Karen. She and her husband, Grant, have three children - Cassidy (8, born 2/97), Gabrielle (6, born 8/99), and Levi (3, born 11/02).

Grant co-owns a business with his brother based in Anoka, Minnesota. Case & Associates serves mid-west banks and credit unions in banking equipment and servicing (drive-thru lanes, safes, vaults, ATM's, security equipment, etc.).

Karen stays home with the kids and maintains a busy schedule just getting each of the family members to where they need to be (church, ice skating, pre-school, etc.). Both Grant and Karen stay involved in various ministries at their home church.

Some of the children's favorite things to do include: going to Papa Hope's farm, making cookies with Grandma Hope, visiting Grandma and Grandpa Case's cabin, drawing, playing trains and playing with friends.
