To *ALL* the lovely family of dear Johanna & Jack Rockx!
My name is Juliann Sliwa. I was enormously Blessed to know both Johanna & Jack for a tremendous amount of years & have them as my wonderful friends. I was immensely saddened when my dear friend Jack died years ago, not just feeling it for myself of course, but MOST especially for my beloved, beautiful, cherished friend Johanna having lost her life's partner & best friend, as well as for ALL of YOU enduring your own profound loss each of you individually too!
Then NOW...........
I am SO very sad & heart broken to hear of my dear friend Johanna's passing, yet in a way NOT! She is now with her beloved, dear Jack again. Such a wonderfully magnificent man he was! I miss him SO very much too!
Both Johanna & Jack were such kind, caring, friendly, faithfully devout, extraordinary people & friends of mine!
I cherish & treasure plenty of phenomenal memories of them both. Like going to each morning Mass with them at
St. Denis ⛪ & saying the Rosary BEFORE Mass. Johanna often gracefully 'led' the Rosary for every one. My special, precious memories also include Jack sitting with me after Mass & he having such wonderful talks with me about our faith, life or even just casual topics too. But THOSE special, quality times with Jack are tiny pieces of golden memory Blessings I treasure in my heart forever! Then there are ALL my cherished, priceless memories that I reflect on each time I think of my lovely friend Johanna!
Johanna being one of my CWL Sisters for many years at St Denis. All the events we did together including Christmas Baazars, going to meetings with guest speakers etc. As time went on & my health got increasingly problematic, I sadly got to see less & less of her. But being the incredibly kind, thoughtful, most amazing person she was, Johanna NEVER forgot me! Once in awhile she'd come to visit me when one of our friends was available to bring her over to my home.
Johanna surprised me & touched my heart more deeply than my words can express by gifting me with her thoughtfully kind, generous, homemade, handmade crafts once in awhile when she'd come visit me. Like the beautiful Christmas wreath she made for me. I still hang it up proudly with my heart bursting with love for her yet!!
How enormously grateful I was for her visits & that treasured wreath that is a physical, tangible way of remembering my precious dear friend! Johanna & I did genuinely try to stay in touch with each other with phone calls & the casual written card or note to each other, but when she moved in to Mt Carmel & my health got even worse that's when I sadly completely lost touch with her. I would frequently ask a couple of dear friends of mine who regularly visited there & ask them about her & asking them to tell her
"Hi!" for me! I often wonder if she understood 'who's was saying Hi?
I tearfully hope & pray that she did!
I was truly SO tremendously Blessed to know BOTH dearest Johanna & Jack & to be able to have them as my friends!
But best of all though, was to share our deep devoted faith in God with each other! God REALLY immensely Blessed me by bringing these two spectacular people into my life to touch my heart SO profoundly!
There IS a famous saying.....
"Keep aware, for amongst you walks Angels of God, unbeknownst to you!"
Without a doubt in my mind, I am totally sure, IF anyone was EVER looking for it, they might have found a *Feather* floating softly, gently to the ground as either Johanna or Jack had walked past!
For as long as God permits me to live, my dearest friends Johanna & Jack Rockx WILL be remembered & treasured in my heart! I send my deepest, most genuine, heartfelt condolences to ALL of my dear friend Johanna's adored family.
Adored & loved them she sure did, very frequently happily & proudly telling me MANY stories about them!
God Bless you ALL abundantly!
May dear God grant Eternal rest upon my dear friend Johanna, let her Perpetual Light shine upon her & May beautiful, dear Johanna rest in the glory & peace of Heaven with our Saviour! Amen!"
With true, immense love & devotion for my cherished, treasured friend Johanna & to ALL you, her family,
Juliann Sliwa
p.s. Just curiously wondering, did you make a memorial *bookmark* for dear Johanna's passing too, like was done for Jack? I STILL have & treasure his bookmark to this day.

It's always sad to hear another original member of the Howard Ave Households passing away. I will always remember Johanna (Mrs. Rockx to me) buying Girl Guide Cookies every year from me or my sister. Then Richard or Michael, while delivering our newspaper, would comment how all the chocolate were gone instantly but the vanilla seem to hang around longer.
My condolences to the entire family.

My condolences to the Rockx family. I knew Michael and Richard as kids at St. James school. I didn't meet your parents until my brother moved next door to them on Howard Ave. I went to their garage sale every year, your mom knew I was collecting plastic fruit for my bowl and put them aside for me. My mom volunteered at Warehouse of Hope as well and knew them. Such kind people. They will always be remembered. Thinking of your family.
