Ross was a great Web friend. I only met him once, a few years ago in St. Paul, but I was shocked to hear he was gone. I will miss him greatly.

Jackie, I have just learned of your great loss. My heart is sad for all of you, and also for Ross's friends who have spoken so highly of him. Thomas Moore in his Care of the Soul tells us to 'embrace our grief' because it tells us how important this relationship was to each of us. He was an extraordinary young man. I know he will be deeply missed.
