Rockla Thompson Surface

I haven't seen Rockla for over 50 years but know that she is still the same wonderful, gracious person she was then, even in spite of her illness. I feel blessed to have known her. My condolences go out to her family and friends.

My prayers are with you. She's in heaven now, with no sickness, playing the piano with the Angels.
Love,

Dear Tommy,Cherie and Mark,
I am sorry to hear of your mother's death. I have such fond memories of her and the entire family. We all had so much fun growing up together. I fondly remember your mom always welcoming us over. And how she could play the piano. Such a talent. I love you all and will say a special prayer this evening. Much Love, Leah Hottel Buckley

Rockla's family does not know me. I was a classmate and friend of this wonderful lady. She played for my quartet, The Four Tones, and was instrumental in making us the most popular singing group in the Roanoke area. She deserved a longer and better life. Emory C.

Cherie, We are so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. We will never forget our wedding day when you, Cindy and your mom sang and played for our little outdoor ceremony in April, 1980.
