Debbie
This is James Ross, Bobbie Ross' son. We were very sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Mrs. Herring was a grand lady and true friend. She, you, and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Mom was out of town when you called. She would like to talk with you if you have time to call her back.
Thanks
James
