Michael K. Ross

Michael,
Just found out about your death 8 years after its occurrence. By now the grief your current family and friends felt is now probably turned to pleasant memories, but it is fresh to me. You, Kathy, Don, and I spent a summer together in Southhampton County, Virginia during the summer after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, and during the summer of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. We were earnest, dedicated, and we thought the world was changing. We busied ourselves talking...

Mike,
I'll miss your smiling face, and will cherish your friendship. This is not good-bye, it's only so long til next time.

Sending heartfelt sympathy to the Michael Ross family. He was one of the few people in Seattle I could call my friend. Regret I learned of his passing day after memorial service. I will always honor his memory.

Dear Michael,

I miss you every day I come to work. You welcomed me into the "SVI family" and for this, I will forever remember you with fondness. I hold you in my heart -your wit, sharp intellect and precise humor. God Blesses You and all of us who had the great fortune to know you.

Dear Michael:

Oh, what an amazing man you were. Although we had only known you for a few years, it felt like a life time. We always enjoyed our visits with you. You were always laughing, joking ... being a great friend.

Michael, you were an inspiration! You were always there to help others. You made a big difference in their lives. Their lives will forever be changed in a good way because of you.

You once told me I was different because I had friends from ...

Michael:

You will be missed very much! Many blessings to the family.

Peace,

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

We were deeply saddened in Flint, Michigan to hear that Michael passed away. It seems like just yesterday that our cousin Michael was among us at a recent family reunion sharing stories of yesterday and building hope for tomorrow. He will live forever in our memories. Our deepest sympathy to the children, siblings,other family members and friends of Michael Ross.

My heartfelt condolences to the family. Michael was a great man and always 'true to self' ... He will remain in my heart with fond memories ...
