Sarah Sharp, 15, of Sea Girt said she knew Julianne Hendrickson well; they were classmates at Sea Girt Elementary School. So she was devastated when she heard about her friend's sudden death.

"Losing Julianne was really a hard thing. She was always really nice, always smiling and fun to be with," Sharp said.

Fourteen-year-old Julianne Hendrickson and her 11-year-old sister, Emily, were killed in a plane crash Aug. 6 in Sitka, Alaska. Their father, Robert Hendrickson, 45, of Spring Lake Heights, and his fiancee, Linda Khudair, 34, of Wall, also were killed.

A hokey pokey event to support the Julianne and Emily Hendrickson Fund for Children took place Saturday afternoon at the Fifth Avenue boardwalk and beach. Saturday marked the first time the event was put on, said Lu Stierman, an event coordinator, and it is planned to become annual.
