To Rocky's daughters and family. You probably do not know me but I had the pleasure of working with Rocky at Ballard, she was always happy and made you laugh. I have often thought of her and wondered how she was doing. I was very sorry to hear of her passing. Hold your memories close and celebrate the life well lived. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Rocky was a very dear friend while I was living in Salt Lake and working at Ballard. That friendship continued even after I left. I also have wonderful memories of a day trip to Wendover with her and some other friends. We had so much fun. She was always looking out for me. I will miss her so much. My prayers go out to Randy and her family.

Randy: My heart goes out to you. I have often wondered how you are doing in life. It appears you had a few good years to cherish. I wished I could have have seen you with your Rocky at the 40-year high school reunion.
Your friend,

I don't know what words I could ever say about my mom that would truly express how much I love her. I am not sure where life will take me now but I know that it will never be the same without her to share it with. She was my best freind my companion and I will remember her now and always as I carry her the rest of the days of my life. I love you mom and will miss you more than I can ever say!!!!!

God bless all of you, Rocky was a very special lady. She is the one that really helped me more then she or anyone will ever know. Getting to know Rocky brought me out of my shell. She was so full of life and love for everyone she meet. We had some great times working at Ballard and some of the weekends I will never forget. I will miss our phone calls. She leaves wonderful memories and I will miss her more then I can say. She was and always will be my best friend. I love you Rocky forever.
