Lorene, I am praying for you and your family in the passing of your beloved Ross. He was one of the finest Christian men I knew. A loving husband, father (and I am certain) and grandfather. I remember him as always smiling, kind, and friendly. May your sweet memories of your lives together bring you comfort. Love and Prayers, Gayle
