We are so sorry for your loss. Ross was a true example of how we all should be. He was a patient man who liked to lead by encouraging others to be more of who they are, not showy or wanting to be the center of attention but enhancing the body of the group. He was gentle, kind and patient while caring for mom, day and night, while she was sick and in and out of the hospital all the way to the end. Praying for you in the days to come. Always here if you need us.
