Lisa, I'll dearly miss Rockie and singing to him. Lisa, you devoted your life to caring and helping your mom with Rockie. Rockie was so smart in so many ways, Spelling his name,loved to count,and always loved to watch his home videos, and his love for music.Rockie loved all the little children,he made sure they had toys like him to play too! When Karey would come to see Rockie, He made sure Karey had a toy in her hand too.I will always remember his love for his "Big Yellow Big Bird'. He'd loved for you to go up to him and smell his nice cologne.Rockie always had pretty blonde curls. Rockie would want "Pike" to shoot "shot gun" he'd be after those shell's. Rockie touched everyone's heart.He's an angel in heaven."Love you Rockie" Jan-Jan...

Lisa, My heart goes out to you and your family. Rockie touched so many peoples hearts. I will never forget him and the few times I cut Rockies hair, He'd see me coming and would say "Curl". He knowed he was going to get those beautiful curls cut. Karey will miss him alot.She liked doing the "butterfly" like Rockie did. Lisa, you and your family filled Rockies heart with so much love.I know he's going to be missed so much. It's God turn to take care of Rockie and keep him in comfort. He's a shining angel in heaven.God Bless you Lisa and your family in this time of sorrow.You'all gave him a beautiful service. Love to you and your family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
