To the family of Mildred Rock, My name is Mickey and I worked at Crest Uniform with Mildred. She was a good friend and a funny lady. She always made me laugh when I needed it. I will miss that the most about Mildred.
May God be with you and your family and bring you peace at this sad time. I know Mildred is happy to be with God now. Bless you all. Mickey
