    Hello Rock cousins! So sorry to learn that Margaret has passed. What a loving spirit to have blessed your family and ours–she had such a mind for names and dates and was so proud of her family. Bless you all as you come together to celebrate her life and passing. I remember Donald’s funeral and I take joy in imagining Uncle Willie, my mom and dad, and Donald welcoming her to eternal life.
    We are sitting out Corona virus in Florida–hope it passes our door.
    Love to all,
    Nancy

    To the entire Rock family.
    I spent many hours visiting with Margaret over the past several years. She had such a great heart and was so proud of each and every member of her family. She fought so hard to beat this. She will be greatly missed by so many. Hugs and prayers to you all.
