Mrs. Prokes was a lovely lady, who will live forever in the hearts of those whose lives she touched. From childhood through adulthood, she enriched my life in so many ways. She was kind, loving, caring, generous – and always eager to tell you and show you how special you are. I was blessed to have Mrs. Prokes in my life; she holds a place in my heart which will be hers forever. I will surely miss her, but I will never forget her. My love and deepest sympathy to her entire family.
