Vi, We just heard the news and are shocked and saddened. We wish we had known sooner so that we could have attended the service. Our deepest sympathy to all the family. We hope you find comfort in good memories.

I had a poem I tried to read at the funeral, but it didn't quite work out that way. It's easier said than done.
One more thing, my Mom and Rocky were eachother's soulmates...She was very to lucky to have him and he was very lucky to have her.
I will miss all the goodtimes we had together as a family, this journey without Rocky will be long and hard, but his journey is forever peaceful and full of glory. We will miss Rocky so much, words cannot express how we all feel.
Here is the poem I tried to read at Grandma Charlene and Rocky's funeral:
It's been a while since I left you
and I know you bear a heavy heart.
For years we were the best of Friends
and in your eyes, we're now apart.
Though it may be true my idle feet
no longer tread the grounds of earth,
it is you who can truly justify what the steps they took were worth.
Realize now that I am only gone if you choose for me to be...if you hesitate to speak my name or recall each memory.
If you reject the image of my face because it brings you pain, then my life, my love, my laughter...will all have been in vain.
I know you miss my presence from the steady tears upon your face, but these tears you cry are not for me, for I am in a better place.
I am no longer suffering. I feel no pain, nor have I sorrow. I've gone forward to this beautiful place...to spend today and every tomorrow.
So laugh at our jokes, remember our time and freely speak my name. If you'll relive our years together, then it won't be an end that came.
Embrace the things we've shared; revisit places we have been. Keep me alive within your heart and I will never die again.
Yes, it's true that it won't be the same and the same...it will never be. But I will always be by your side if you will always remember me.
WITH LOVE, YOUR DAUGHTER 4-EVER TIFFANI, ALSO YOUR GRANDCHILDREN DESTINY - YOUR LIL ANGEL, SABEY - YOUR LIL TOOL/MECHANIC HELPER AND SAMMIE YOUR LIL PROCRASTINATER.
I hope this poem brings peace to everyone who reads it or has heard it once before.
