Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry, Gwen. Sandy was always such a friendly and special neighbor. Even though you know that he is in a better place I know that you will miss him so very much! I always enjoyed talking with him when he was working in the yard when I headed up the street for a walk. Seeing you two in the grocery was a gift of friendliness. I pray for the repose of Sandy's soul and that God's perpetual light shines on him and for God to send angels and saints to comfort you and your family!

To Cousin Gwen and family, please accept our heartfelt condolences on the passing of Cousin Sandy. As the grandchildren of Betty Hockaday Johnson, we have fond memories of the Hockaday brothers (fried crabs) while we spent our summer vacations in Norfolk. May the peace and comfort of God keep everyone in the days ahead. Cheryl Johnson, Darlene Johnson Brown and Alicia Johnson (New Jersey)

Gwen and family, please know our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God continue to embrace and comfort you during this difficult time.

que Dios los bendiga en estos momentos de dolor y el de fortaleza ala familia Hockaday.

My condolences to the Hockaday family members; especially my dear friends David and Tina. May your dad rest in eternal peace.

My sincerest condolences. Sending love and prayers

I remember Mr. Hockaday as a warm, generous and loving man. I am truly sorry for your loss. My prayers for healing hearts.


As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
