Not sure what to say?

As I read the messages above I am reminded of the warmth of all the Ross family members and my heart is with them today. My first thought is of all the laughter I shared with them and the wonderful happy memories they will have as time goes on. You are truly a special family and for this reason your loss will be so much harder but the memories will remain forever.

One in a million. I will always remember Uncle Tom's warm welcome, tremendous talent and big heart. That goes for his entire family too. You'll never meet a warmer, smarter or more talented group of people. I am truly lucky to know you all. Peace to the the Ross family. Love, John lauer

Marlene and family,
I am so so sorry for your loss. I have always loved chipper Tom. He was such a kind man. He is in a better place and always with you of course. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Marlene and family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you on this very sad occasion. Tom was a wonderful person and a great neighbor. I know that your family will have a great void with Tom's death, but be comforted by the thought that he now is with our Lord. You and the kids have my greatest condolences, Marlene.

Dear Ross Family~
When I think of Mr.Ross, I will always remember his great smile and great laugh. I always looked forward to sleepovers at The Ross Family Home because there was so much Love, Laughter,and a Unique Closeness and Warmth among all.I have a memory of Mr. Ross playing the piano and singing with such joy! Also, I remember him staying up all night to complete one of his fantastical pieces of art. I feel so blessed to have known Mr.Ross. Please know that you folks remain close in...

We will remember the good times with Tom at Tastee Donut and the times he blessed our family with his gifts of laughter, encouragement and his wonderful artwork. May God surround your family with His peace.

OUR PRAYERS ARE WITHT TOM AND HIS FAMILY AT THIS VERY SAD TIME

I've lost both my parents who were by the definition best friends. There's a finality to it but at the same time it is infinite. I've known the Ross family since I was in kindergarten and I've known God. The reason I've known God is because I've HAVE know human beings like the Ross Family! As an older man I've come to recognize God because I look for him, and HE WAS in Tommy Ross Sr. A piece of iron you could lean on, a light in the fog that guides the way for most of life's questions,...
