Man of Love was my nick name for him.
Thank you Mary Lodholm.
Thank you for Spain and giving me the idea to go on this journey with Rocco and thank you for sending this. We read it to him. I know he loved it too.

I bind my Self today To divine, unconditional and unfathomable Love
And the obedience of Devas
I bind my Self to the power of Grace,
To the light of the Sun
To the brightness of the Moon
The splendor of fire
The flashing of lightening
To the swiftness of wind
The depth of the Sea
The Stability of Earth
and the compactness of Rocks
I bind my Self today to God within me
The One that breaks the fever of human fear
The One who has power to guide me
The might to uphold me
The One to teach me
Whose eye to watch over me
The One whose ear hears me
And Words give me speech
Christ with me and before me
Christ behind me and
Christ within me
Christ to the right of me
Christ to the left of me
Christ above me
Christ beneath me
Christ in the Heart of everyone who thinks of me
Christ in the Eye of everyone who sees me
Christ in the Ear of everyone who hears me
I bind myself today to divine unconditional, unfathomable Love

Oh, my dear dear, Denise. I am feeling your heart. And I feel how much you love your darling. I just wish I could make it all better for you. I do send you so much love and a lot of Healing Light for your heart and for Rocco's heart and body. And to your dear daughter. Keep in the love. You are love you are the rock. I love you sweet friend. Kiss your darling for me. And I'm hugging you right now.
You are surrounded by love. God bless you.
Amen. This, I believe.
Sending love....as much love as I can muster and send over the miles. Rocco IS LOVE! Has always been LOVE. Yes - "Man of Love!"
He is soaring with the stars and the sun. God bless all of you and may He give you strength and peace. The world lost a most wonderful, kind person. I am privileged to have known him. With respect, Lisa
This is beautiful. So was Rocco’s heart and his life. I was only privileged to know him for a brief window of time, but his kindness, intelligence, and spirit truly touched me. Much love to you and your family.
There are no words to fully convey how I/we feel at this devastating time. Rocco was a sunshine in our lives, and will forever be remembered for the great, good, brilliant, loving man that he was. Sending you all love and strength to find your way ahead, with so many loving friends to help carry you through.
I cry a thousand tears.
Denise, I am at a loss. Words fail. But please know that I still and will have you, Kendall, and Rocco in my prayers. He was the first acting professor I had in college at Wright State and he left an indelible mark and presence on me. He and my countless other professors, educators, and family are the foundation of who I am today. I will not forget that or him. Prayers, light, and love to you and Kendall.
❤️
💞 These dancing hearts remind me of you, Docco and Kendall. WHAT I wouldn't give to reverse this outcome ans take away your sadness. XO
Howling. Truly, never have I known a person so full of light as Rocco.
Today was so incredible. The sun was bright and the air was warm and there seemed to be love everywhere. It felt special. And different. Somehow reverent. I can't stop thinking of you. And the power of Rocco, as DArcy said, Giant of men. His power will live on in all of us. And you will be full of his strength now, forever. I am sending you and Kendel love and light and strength. Xoxo
I struggle with words. Christ within and Christ before and Christ behind. We said the Mourners Kaddish at Yom Kippur services and it was truth. You have been surrounded and will continue to be surrounded, ENVELOPED in prayer. Rocco was love. And all the things.
Oh, Denise, I am holding you and Kendall in my heart as you hug each other tight tonight.
Denise, what a wonderful hymn that gives you strength. It is one of my favorites. So many have said what is true, I pray for you and Rocco morning and evening. I always see his smiling face and hear his energy as he teaches, as he explains in his very intense and exciting way what he believes in and what he wants to share. You are an amazing and wonderful support for him and we continue to be a support for you. Hugs to you both - and your dear daughter and new dog!
Carol and I send our love and anguish to you, Denise and Kendall. You know the reverence so many had for your husband and father by the waves of sympathy and healing wishes now sent to both of you.
Love, strength, and deepest sympathy. Words can't describe what the both of you have meant to me in my life. Sending so much love to you and Kendall. Holding you in my heart.
Peace and love to you and Kendall, Denise.
Just beautiful, prayers continue for Rocco! My brother's fiancé gave me a daily devotional Jesus Calling & today's message: September 30 I am perpetually with you, taking care of you. That is the most important fact of your existence. I am not limited by time or space; My Presence with you is a forever promise. You need not fear the future, for I am already there. When you make that quantum leap into eternity, you will find Me awaiting you in heaven. Your future is in My hands; I release it to you day by day, moment by moment. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. I want you to live this day abundantly, seeing all there is to see, doing all there is to do. Don't be distracted by future concerns. Leave them to Me! Each day of life is a glorious gift, but so few people know how to live within the confines of today. Much of their energy for abundant living spills over the time line into tomorrow's worries or past regrets. Their remaining energy is sufficient only for limping through the day, not for living it to the full. I am training you to keep your focus on My Presence in the present. This is how to receive abundant Life, which flows freely from My throne of grace. Matthew 6:34 English Standard Version Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. John 10:10 English Standard Version The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. James 4:13-15 English Standard Version 13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”
