She was beautifully rough around the edges. A little hard to see through, arguably a bit abrasive. But what stone isn't until it's refined and polished. She always was and always will be a brilliant diamond in our hearts and minds. She radiated a spectrum of different colors of herself to all of us and all of them were beautiful. She was like a prism spreading light or a disco ball brilliantly dancing for the party. She was an intensely loving mother, a fiercely loyal family member, and an amazing friend. With a sharp wit and a heart full of sarcasm, she embraced life to the fullest. She enjoyed late night gossip sessions with her besties, singing karaoke, cheering on Nathan at his games, and being the life of the party. She's also been known to prank anyone and everyone. The forever jester. The colorful soul. We will never forget you. We love you and will remember the legacy that you left behind of love, adventure, mischief, and chaos. You will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.

Rochelle and I were playfriends back in elementary school, and from then through high school I can distinctly remember her bright smile and friendly teasing. Rest in peace Rochelle.

I am Stephanie Richardson’s mom, so I knew Rochelle through her. I took an immediate liking to Rochelle because she was so welcoming and kind. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in joyful memories.

Dear Roseanne, it’s been a long time, but know you have been in my thoughts and prayers since I found out of Rochelle‘s passing. My heart breaks for you. How senseless this is. I know she will be missed by everyone that was blessed to know her. I pray you can find comfort in the fun, loving and mischievous memories that she left you with, which we know were many. She was definitely a force to reckon with!

We love and miss you so much. So sad to see you go. You were an amazing neighbor letting Colette talk to you about anything and everything and letting the kids run around your yard. Thank you for sharing your light with us.

Rochelle, one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. Thank you for keeping in touch with Angela when she had no one and with me when I needed someone to talk to. Heaven is a better place with you there! Consider yourself hugged!

My condolences goes out to Tim, Nathan and the family. I worked with Rochelle at Republic Services, and we became very good friends. Rochelle was the best, never a dull moment with her. We would be on the phone for hours playing catch up and reminiscing on the great times we had. I am going to miss Rochelle, and so very glad to have been associated with such an awesome person. She will be forever loved and missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Love you forever Rochelle, may...
