My condolence is extended to the family of James D. Ross, my brother in Christ.
James and I shared a special bond as members of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc. He was full of wisdom and discernment, and we engaged in many lengthy conversations regarding the times in which we live. He was committed to the Lord Jesus Christ and served Him faithfully, particularly through the church and NANM, Inc. He will be greatly missed.
James, as did the Apostle Paul, "fought a good fight, finished his course and kept the faith." The victory is his. The Lord be praised! Hallelujah!
