My deepest condolences to the Giordano family. Rock was my best friend. I will have fond memories of her. We loved to prank each other often. I asked Rock one day? I said Rock what is your greatest accomplishment thus far in life. Rock said my children, and my Grandchildren. She held her head high each, and every time she would tell me about how proud she was of her son´s, and their accomplishments.
Rock loved deeply and she is missed. Sending love, hugs, and strength to get through these trying times. God Bless.
