Guest book will be going offline soon. Thanks again to all friends and family for the kind words, prayers, and rememberances. Eva lived full speed ahead and went directly from her comfy chair to the Pearly Gates as she would have wanted, with no doctors involved! She was a force of nature and as such will surely rise again someday! On behalf of the entire family, we wish you peace and happiness.

Mrs. Rockwell was a very special person and a joy to know. I lived with my family across the street from her until 1994, but it was only in the past few years that I had gotten to know her better. She always enjoyed my children and was so impressed with our dog the one time he sat on her driveway waiting for us to finish visiting so that we could return back across the street together! The last time we visited with her she gave the kids some little candies and praised all three of them for being so good and for having such a great mom and grandma :) She always had a way of making us all feel special! We will miss her dearly... May her light shine on in the lives of her children and grandchildren...It was a bright one!

Dear Rockwell Family,
My deepest sympathies for your loss. I never had the opportunity to meet Eva Anne Rockwell, but knowing Don and having met Matt, I know that she must have been truly special to have such a remarkable son and grandson. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
