The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maked me to lie down in green pastures:
He leaded me beside the still waters.
He restore my soul He lead me in the paths of righteousness for his name sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies Thou anointed my head with oil my cup is runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
VINCENT, MY HEART GOES OUT TO0 YOU, BIANCA & LIL VINCENT IN YOUR TIME OF GRIEF. YOU ARE IN MY PRAY EACH AND EVERYDAY. MY GOD FILL YOUR HEART WITH MANY MEMORIES AND GOOD TIMES WITH ROCKIE. I KNOW YOU AND THE KIDS WILL TRULY MISS HER.

Rookie was a beatiful lady. She was a true friend and I will truly miss her. I pray that God will comfort and heal your broken heart and fill it with loving memeories of time you spent together. Shirley Pender,

February 19, 2013

Such a beautiful Soul. I remember the first day that she can to work with the VAMC. She was indeed a firecracker. She grew up to be a very special and beautiful young lady. She was one of my dear employees that I really loved. Her husband also an ex-employee of mine that I also have high regards for. When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still.What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we do not understand Rocky why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you passed on, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. I will never forget you. I love you truly. Tears!
