John Ross was like my very own child. I love this precious boy more than I could ever explain, and am selfishly heartbroken by his passing. I'm in constant prayer for peace and comfort for you, Betsy, Jack, and Matthew. Know that he had the best life that he could have ever imagined. He knew nothing but love, joy, and laughter. He had the best set of parents in the world. Being able to take care of this child for the last 5yrs has blessed me beyond measure. Fly high sweet angel of mine. All my love.

Betsy and Jack, I am so sorry to hear of John Ross's death. I have such good memories of that beautiful face and his sunny personality in infancy and early childhood. What a gift his life has been for so many, including me. May the memories of his laughter bring you peace during this difficult time.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I will never forget meeting John Ross at Lakewood. His face lit up when y'all told me about his trip to the beach and getting to use a fancy seat so he could get in the ocean. It is a memory I will never forget. I'm praying for you all.

Jack and Betsy,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. John Ross will be dearly missed. I have such fond memories of him over the past 15 years, his sense of humor was ALL BOY and good for him that I totally can relate to teenage boy humor!! He was one of a kind! Love to you all!

I worked with John Ross for over 4 years,and I wish all could have known him like I did. I was one of his nurses. He could laugh until he cried about some things.He loved it when I spilled things. It was always so good to see him laugh. I truly treasure the time I had with this whole family. A nurse couldn't ask for a better family and client. He will be missed by all who knew him. I hope he is happy and playing in heaven. I know thus soul is in God's hands and walking all over the place.
