We were out of town when we learned of the untimely passing of Ross. He worked for us at Martin Henry Coffee for many years, and always held a special place in our hearts. He had a way of making a positive impact on all those he came across, was quick with a joke, and was liked and respected by all he worked with. We are sad for your loss, and want you to know you will be in our prayers. We are happy that our paths crossed, and will hold on to the memories we have. Ross, you will be missed!

Uncle Pat, Aunt Julie, Greg, Chad and Sloane,
I can not believe I am signing this book. I am so very sorry for your loss. We were just talking about how well Ross was doing and proud you both were of him, and all of the things Ross had accomplished recently. The glow in your face was immeasurable. I am sure he will be looking down on everyone continuing to make an impact on the world we live in. I send all of our love and prayers your way during this time.
Bob, Holly, and Deacon

I worked with Ross at Frontier Lanes for many years. What I remember most about Ross is that deep down he had a big heart. I remember when Sloane was born; I think that was the happiest I had ever seen him. I am so sorry for your loss.

God Bless!

My Dearest Lindsay,
I hope that you know how much I have always loved you and your family. We are more like Sisters, in my heart, and I feel like your family is mine also. There is no way to say words to comfort you in the loss of your son, Ross. My prayers are with you and Pat, and Sloane every day.

Lindsey, Pat,Julie,Greg,Chad, and Sloan,

My thoughts and prayers are with you, and may you always know that Ross (Dad) was awesome in every way. God sent us a wonderful man, a gift to all of us. He taught us not to quit, and his walk through this life taught us- "Don't quit 5 minutes before the miracle happens." Ross gave us a glimpse of what miracles are.

Lindsey, if you are the person who was married to Bob-I was married to Tom Healy and used to know you when we all lived in Magnolia. I read about your sons' death and am very sorry. Kathy Luderman
