Joe and Laura,

Gregg and I were so sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Tracie & Gregg Lowis

Mike and Mary Ellen were like an Aunt and Uncle to me growing up. We lived down the street and later just a few blocks away. They always remembered us at Christmas and brought us fresh veggies from Mike's garden. Your parents were always so proud of all you. My mother (Martha), my twin sister (Sue), and I will always remember Mike and Mary Ellen fondly.

Mike was an old neighbor, a good father of a large family. He was the last of the old neighborhood. Our condolences are with the children.

To the Rock Family,
It was my pleasure to have known your father from K's Merchandise days. He was a wonderful person and the people that dealt with him there enjoyed having him wait on them. May God Bless you and your families at this difficult time. May it give you comfort that he now dwells with the Lord. Don Porter

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Rock Family. Uncle Mick was one of my favorites and he will be greatly missed!

Gregg, Tracy (Hughes) and Dillon Kempkes

Please know my prayers are with your family. Bob Cavanagh, old St Ag, classmate of Terry.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Ellen & Logan,
I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. Remember that he will always be with you in Spirit and in your hearts.

To my Rock cousins,

What a wonderful 80th birthday party you had for your dad! It was great to see him and all of you. What a wonderful birthday present your mom received when he joined her this year. I am sorry that I am unable to make it from Chicago for the funeral. We will miss him!
God bless all of you.
Love to all,

Chris Walsh
