To all the Rockwoods:
What can we say about her that hasn't already been said. She was one of a kind and she will be so missed. What a wonderful legacy she has left behind. This is a thought which helped us out many years ago. Hope it will help you.
"We think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched, Because nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much"
In sympathy and friendship,

Joe and Gloria Denneen
