Ross you were a true devoted employee. You gave up your personal time in evenings and week ends to give me a break or fill in for other employees during my business at The 29 Food Mart. Although you were a full-time employee at a Building Supply Company in Warrenton you were devoted and faithful to my business as well. What a wonderful and great person inside and out. Always Kind, Respectful and helpful. You never turned me down. You helped me move to Fredericksburg and stayed with me for two...
