To John, Dan, Tracy and the Hockley family many miles have come and gone and it is a sad day to hear the passing of one with a passion for life. Wishing you the best the day offers. Take care and be well. Timothy Courtnage Paris Ontario

I'm still struggling to come to terms that Marg is no longer with us. I've been talking to Maike almost everyday and to me the hurt is much deeper than I could ever have imagined. The love that I had for her is difficult to put into words. This is someone who was always there for me...always, although I was globetrotting she was always the one who picked me up from the airport and eventually brought me back for the next adventure. I miss her so. There are no memories of my childhood that don't include her or her children. Love you Marg...see you soon!

It's with profound sadness that we heard of the sudden passing of "Marg", I've known her of my whole life. A person who was always there for others...who never backed off from any challenge or fight. They say that God is merciful...In Marg's case I think he was...he wanted her and took her without warning or premise. I will miss her dearly. To Tracy, John, Dan, their children and their children please accept my deepest condolences at this very difficult time.
