Dear Acquanetta, I will always remember you as one of the kindest people who I ever met. As a young fan of your movies made at Universal Pictures, you invited me to visit you on three occasions to Phoenix and treated me like the movie star. You were an Icon who truly came to life for me, and I will never forget you. You were an original, and you were what a real movie star was 'all about' in the classic sense, and a wonderful human being on the inside. I'll never forget the wonderful times I...

We are so very sorry to hear about the passing of Acquanetta, an unforgettable lady who was not only stunning in appearance but also personable and so likeable. Her many accomplishments were truly admirable. We feel privileged to have known her.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Acquanetta a couple of times, but her beauty and star quality shone through each time. Truly an amazing and wonderful woman; those who knew her are better people because of it.

Aunt Acqua,
Physical distance kept us from getting to know you better, and now we can't go back in time. I hope that you, Dad, Caroline & Edward are all well on the other side. God bless your family, our prayers are with you all.
Your nephew, billy.

We are saddened by your loss and send our condolences to all the Ross family.
With much love,
Elaine, Norman and Beth

I will always remember Aqanetta as a stunning woman. She believed in making a difference in the world and I'm sure I don't know half of what she accomplished.
The Ross boys have grown in to wonderful men. I lived on their street in grade school and have come to know Tom again as an adult and I know we will remain friends for >another < few decades!! All my love to you and your family.

Dear Ross Family,
I grew up next door to you on Arcadia Lane. All the memories of having you for neighbors will be with me forever....you mother was so nice and caring and loving. All the memories are wonderful and precious to me. I'm thankful to have been a friend and neighbor and will treasure our friendship always. Tommy and I have always been good buddies and I think the world of him.
All my love, Sally Slaughter-Johnson
