I haven't seen you & Rock for years. When I heard of his passing, only hours ago, I felt like someone punched me in the stomach. Many people have come into & out of my life but Rock was a person I could never or would never forget. He was simply a "beautiful" man inside & out, genuine, kind & loving. The video is a visual testament to your beautiful family filled with so much love. Jay Ann, you & your children will be on my prayer list forever now. I wish you all a beautiful life. And, please remember nothing & no one can take away a lifetime of precious memories.

Rock may God bless you,I found out you passed and the tears will not stop.we met in 1990 at camp gaberails and we were best of friends.
