Rest In Peace Prudence Hockley
You were absolutely one of my favorite English teachers that I’ve ever had and no teacher before or after you has pushed me nearly as hard. You knew I had the potential and would not allow me, or any or your other students, to waste it.
You were and are the strongest woman I know (physically and emotionally) and I couldn’t be more grateful for the time I spent in your classroom.
I’ll never forget you because of my tattoo. Something you told me had to be meaningful and important to stay on my body forever. You also told me to go to your favorite tattoo parlor “Slave to the Needle” which I did. It’s my favorite piece of art I’ll ever own.
Thank you so much. I love you. Rest in Peace.
WHS has seen too much death. One of my favorite teachers in all of my education, and one of the coolest individuals I’ve ever known. There was a day I was going to come visit the school about two weeks ago and see you, but I had to take care of a stupid energy bill instead. I will always regret not paying the bill on time, because it means I didn’t get to experience your infectious smile, hear about your latest tattoo or piercing, or be in your room that was suffused with the smell of patchouli one last time. You are missed, Ms. Hockley.
