  1. Floyd and family,
    Willa was always so sweet and kind. Always a beautiful smile! May our Lord comfort you all during this time. God bless you all! Judi & Steve

  2. Sending love and comfort to you, Floyd, Floyd Jr. and family. I know Willa has sweet peace and rest in her heavenly home. She was a dear lady.

  3. I am so sorry to hear of Willa’s passing and equally saddened to hear that her beloved husband, Floyd passed also. I worked with Willa at KDH Police Department before moving to Western NC and considered both she and her husband wonderful people and good friends. My sincere condolences to their family and you all are in my prayers.

  4. What a wonderful Christian friend Willa was to everyone at Mt. Zion Church. There were four couples in our church that had been married since 1960. My husband was the first of them to die. Now Floyd and Willa have gone Home. That leaves two couples to continue until God calls them Home. May God carry the Hoskinson family until they are able to carry on. Please know that you have a church family that grieves with you.

  5. Floyd, Lee and family, we are so very sad about the passing of your mom and grandmother. Willa was such a wonderful smiling caring lady with a great sense of humor who we already miss. Cherish the wonderful memories of both of your parents. Theirs was a love story lived fully and ended in love together. They have found their eternal home still united. As hard as this loss is, how beautiful as well knowing they wanted it just this way. May this be a comfort to you as well that they are at peace.
    You have our deepest sympathy and love.
