Loyce Van Hook - Guestbook

My Sincere Condolences to the Van Hook Family on Loyce's passing. Loyce was very popular in High School as i remember. I do remember her being a cheerleader. Although i did not know Loyce or Vince personally, I saw them at school regularly throughout the years. I can remember riding the school bus in 1969 to K Smith Elementary and I 1st saw Loyce getting on the bus in front of her house in Forest West in the mornings. I lost track of school mates many years ago from the 70's . I was saddened to learn of her passing. God Bless , David Garcia

Kyle , so very sorry for the loss of your wonderful and loving wife . She was a blessing to all. My prayers and condolences to you and family during this time . God Bless !

Dear VanHook family, Our thoughts and prayers go out to each of you as you mourn the lose of beautiful and sweet Loyce.
Even though she is not with you physically she will be with you always in your heart and in all the wonderful memories that will last your life time. May God continue to provide you with strength to carry on in this life as Loyce would want you to do. We will all miss her very much but remember her as a most gracious lady. Karen

I am so sorry to learn of Loyce's passing. I first came to know her back at Scarborough High School,
and my memories of her is that she was a sweet and gentle person, from a fine family, that I also came to know. I know she will be missed by her family and friends, and may God bless her, and may God bless her entire family always.

Remembering my dear friend, co-worker, and Buccaneer coaching sister wife with so much love and fondness. I so admired Loyce in her many roles! I first had the pleasure of meeting her when both of our husband’s coached for Blinn in the early 90’s; Kyle as the baseball coach and Willie as the football coach. It was there that a friendship and mutual understanding was formed. We both later taught at the Methodist Weekday School, where Loyce was also my daughter Lainie’s Pre-K teacher. We were also in the same Methodist Women’s Circle. Loyce exuded grace and style in everything that she did, as well as a warmth that embraced all who had the blessing of knowing her. Attending an event at the Van Hook home was like stepping into the pages of Southern Living! Her Pre-K classroom was a place filled with learning and love. I still hang timeless and charming ornaments on my tree every year that Lainie created in her classroom! Loyce’s brown eyes could sparkle with humor and fill with with caring and empathy, and I considered them a window into her beautiful soul. How greatly she will be missed by so many. We send our deepest condolences to Kyle, Clay, Vanessa, Olivia and the entire family. With Love and Sympathy, Willie and Susan Fritz

I extend my deepest sympathy and prayers to Loyce's family. She was a kind, thoughtful, passionate person whose faith and courage were an inspiration to all of us. I know that she loved her family and friends and we'll all miss her unconditional love and dedication to those who knew her. including hundreds, maybe thousands, of students. Her pain is over now and she left a beautiful legacy for all of us who hope to see her again someday.

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

I was so saddened to hear this shocking news. My heart goes out to you at this time of grief.

Dear Van Hook Family, I subbed in Mrs. Van Hook's 3rd grade class at Alton many years ago. She was always so organized and her students were well behaved. She always had her room decorated for the holidays and she said that was because one thing she spent a lot of time in her classroom and another thing because not all children had decorations in their homes. My sincere sympathy to all of her family. Prayers for peace and comfort in the days ahead.

Loyce was always a joy to work with, and I cherish my time talking to and working with her while I was in Brenham. She always went above and beyond, and I could tell she was dedicated to ensuring that Brenham teachers were prepared to help each and every student reach their potential in math.
My heartfelt condolences are with all of her family, and Heaven is truly enriched by Loyce’s presence.

Dear Kyle and family,

Sending my most sincere condolences and my caring thoughts and prayers.
Loyce left me with so many beautiful memories that are tucked in my heart. She was so much fun, very classy and a true and loyal friend.
I still remember...
when we had a tug of war at Alton! She was our biggest cheerleader.
I remember...when she did cart wheels outside the JH gym while we waited for Vanessa and Lacy at cheerleading try outs.
I remember...how excited she was when Kyle brought her a red Suburban. She loved it.
I remember ...when Olivia got a little puppy and named him “Buddy”. My dad (Buddy Dorow) thought he was named for him.
I remember...her beautiful penmanship.
I remember...how proud of her children , their spouses and her precious grandchildren she was.

Loyce fought hard. She was so brave. I am sorry.

I am happy to call her my friend. She will be missed.

May all your memories fill your heart, bring you peace and comfort.
My love to each of you,

Debra, Rick, Lacy & Luke
