Today I had to say goodbye to the most wonderful woman to ever walk the earth!
Rochelle brought so much joy and happiness into the lives of every single person she met. She had a special way of making everyone feel like they mattered. There were never any strangers in her life, only friends she hadn’t met.
Rochelle had a zest for life that was boundless. Her enthusiasm was contagious. She loved all things outdoors. We had the best time together – whether we were hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, motorcycle camping or just sharing life!
She constantly challenged me to be a better person and forever changed who I became. I am grateful to her.
Rochelle loved our family so much. She was the perfect mother to Nick and Billy Joe. She loved being a mother-in-law to Sam and Bailey. But nothing quite compared to being a grandmother to Penelope.
I will miss her more than life itself.
Rochelle Ann, I love you honey. Rest peacefully.
I will announce a date and place for the celebrations of her life at a later date.
