My deepest sympathy goes out to the Rocker Family. I have know them since I was a little girl in Thomasville Community(in a house). I remember when Mr. Rocker would do devotion and sing Lilly in the Valley. Wow how times fly. Now you are in heaven with the other Angels. Please time my mom and day hello! :)

The Rocker family has our deepest sympathies. Our families have known each other for decades, beginning with Dea. Alfred and Mother Loretta Kimpson who lived on Thirkeld Ave. in the South Atlanta community, just one block from us. In these trying times we need The Savior, but also angels here on earth to help us make it through. If there is anything we can do, we offer it up to you now. Again, you have our deepest sympathies, and our prayers.
