God made "Mom" Rockey so special both inside and out. She always had a kind word or a loving hug to give anyone who would receive it. With her love for the Lord and His Holy Spirit shining brightly through her, she definitely gave us all a glimpse of what God's heavenly angels will be like, as I believe she was one of His right here on earth. Looking forward to seeing that smile again one day. Our prayers and blessings go out to all her beautiful family. Her memory will be cherished.

Glen and Family. I told Glen I just made a cake from a recipe your mother gave me almost 40 years ago. She was so good to me when we lived next door. I remember her letting me in to see Linda's barbie dolls and making me feel loved and welcomed in your home. I know how much she was loved and you will miss her. My prayers are with you and your family. I have to work this weekend and will not have a opportunity to see every one. Hugs to all of you.
