Guestbook

  1. What an honor and privilege for God to bring Mr. and Mrs. Rock to this area. Would love for the time with Mr. Rock to have been longer, but it was certainly long enough to experience his genuine Faith and Trust in the Plan of God. Thankful he is resting until the trumpet sounds and he is given eternal life in the Family of God.

  2. Rest in peace, Uncle Ken. Recalling the fond memories of seeing you during our summer holidays in Ontario. We are keeping your family in our thoughts during this difficult time.

  3. Rest In Peace, Uncle Ken. I remember the good times I had as a child visiting you & Gramma. I wish we had more time to get to know you in our adult life. Thinking of our family at this hard time.
