Ohhh Rocky, I wept as I read your words. In some ways it seems like an eternity, yet, somehow it seems like yesterday. I still remember that horrible day that I heard the news of this horrific, senseless shooting. I loved you and your dear family. Thank you for this important memory. 🤗❣️
Thanks for this beautiful tribute to your family. You have a shared grief that no one can understand until they go through it. I look forward to reading your book.
You are an amazing writer, Rocky. I can’t wait to read your book. I always felt at home at your house on Willow Ave. as well as at the Cafe. Bob and Ima were my second Dad and Mom. Rhonda and I were inseparable as little girls. Those memories bring me joy. Thank you for sharing. Pennie
Your bravery to be vulnerable and explore your grief/trauma is inspiring. Healing can only occur when you face and walk through the pain. I am sorry for this painful chapter in your life and know that the lessons you acquire will deepen the balance of your life moments.
Wow, so painful, tragic, unforgettable. I'd love to read your book when it's published. Mass shootings, 40 years later for you. Can't imagine how you must feel about the increasing numbers. Each one pulls at my heart more than the last... guns...
Thank you. So powerful...so tragic...
Thank you Robert
Thank you so much Rocky for telling the story of your sister and your family is such a precise, poignant, and powerful way.
Thank you, Elizabeth. I appreciate your thoughtful comment.

You were chosen sisters at the age of three!!
Really thoughtful and insightful. Timeless.
Thank you Debra
Thank you for writing this, Rockie. Grief is a deep, deep well. The manner in which the issue of guns immobilizes our country is utterly maddening.
Thank you! It makes me feel good to know the message is well received

Thank you Linda, for reaching out. It is a bit paralyzing to see increased violence with such bipartisan debate about guns.
This is beautifully written, Rockie. I'm your cousin Renee's daughter and I never knew about this.
Hi Bridget, I love your mother. Thank you!
