Jenn,
I miss you. Always. Sometimes I can feel you hugging me. The little things that remind me of you are what still get me through.
What is it?
A good thing.
I love you.

Jennifer's mother, Coren, showed those who demanded Jennifer's purse that we, the law-abiding citizens, are far above the ranks of those who intrude upon our lives and loved ones. God bless the Ross family.

Dear Ross family,
I am a Psi Gamma chapter Chi Omega alumna from Mercer University. I was shocked to hear of this tragedy. I have talked with several of her sisters and they are still at a loss. I plan to give to the Jennifer Lipscomb Ross Memorial Endowed Scholarship in her honor. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Chi Omega Love,

I was brought to this website after I heard the recent verdict on the news. I know nothing can bring this angel back to earth, but at least some form of justice will be served. As a single father of a nine-year-old daughter, I cannot even begin to comprehend the pain and suffering you've experienced over the last year. If it's any consolation, I will continue to keep Jennifer (and family and loved ones) in my prayers.

I was made aware of Jennifer's passing through CourtTV's current following of the case. She appears to be a beautiful and dynamic young person. Having two daughters myself my heart and prayers go out to her family and many friends. And; may God grant you blessings and peace in your lives, in your hearts.

We pray for you every day,i can't pretend or to know what you feel.your daughter was beautiful,it so sad to know she is no longer here because of something that never should have touched her,or her family
December 14, 2006
Everytime I see that beautiful picture of Jennifer, I am reminded of just how precious life really is. Jennifer's time on this earth was short, but I truly believe the Lord had bigger plans for her. I know she is rejoicing with Him every second of the day.
Mr. and Mrs. Ross, your strength and courage is admired by those who know you, and those who you don't know. Your daughter must be very proud to have had you as her parents. You both are in my prayers always.

Dear Ross Family:
While I did not know your beautiful daughter, I was shocked and deeply saddened to read about her passing in the New York City newspapers tonight. I was born and raised in Savannah. So when I see something in the media about my hometown, I take the time to read about it. This news was shocking and tragic and heartbreaking. I cannot imagine the pain you must be enduring at this time.
I extend all of my prayers and heartfelt wishes to you all. Savannah has lost one of her best and brightest and most beautiful. I am sincerely sorry for your loss.

Coren and Rusty....there has not been ONE day since Christmas Eve that I have not thought about all of you and Jennifer. I pray more, now, and I pray BETTER. I try harder to appreciate EVERYTHING in my life....I go to sleep at night thinking about you and Jenn.....and I wake every morning......thinking of you again.I CANNOT imagine the pain.......I know there are no words that can console you, no words that will make it all "OK". I just wanted you to know that I will think about Jennifer and you....every day....for the rest of my life. May the PEACE of our LORD be with you........Paige Saussy

Dear Ross Family -
I have prayed for you every day since reading of the death of your daughter. I know how it feels to have a daughter who brings her family so much joy. Losing Jennifer at her young age must be devastating. I pray your devastation is healed by the faithful lovingkindness of our Lord as you commit yourselves humbly to Him. May you know His perfect peace and great comfort.
From a mother whose heart aches for you all.

Dear Adger and all the Ross family,
I am so saddened by the loss of your beautiful neice, Adger and your wonderful and talented daughter, Rusty and Coren. Although I did not know Jennifer, I have three children of my own who grew up down the street from your family in the 1960's & 70's. I just want you to know how much we are praying for you to receive God's grace and comfort. I cannot imagine the depth of your sorror but I hope you will find comfort knowing so many are praying for you and thinking of you.
May God Bless You,

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I lost my only child 2 years ago. Thank God for my family and friends. I have thought about you so frequently and prayed for you. I have always felt sadness for people that have lost a child, but only in the past two years have I truly understood the sadness. God blessed me in finding two co-workers, one that lost her young daughter, and one that lost her young son. These two people gave me such support. They both told me that I would make it thru this. They also told me that they would always be there for me. They have been. I have, as folks say, had bad days and good days. I never knew that tears could be so huge. I find that when I am down I know that it will get better soon, just hang in there. I find comfort that my daughter was part of me, therefore I in turn am part of her. So - she lives in me every day. I look at the beauty in the world and think of her. I feel her presence so often. I feel that I will be with her again one day. God bless you and your family. I will continue to pray for you. You will make it thru this.

I worked at Hunter Maclean with Rusty and many others back in 1992-1995. I never met Jennifer but I recall the nice personality of her dad. I send to you my heart felt sympathy. May God give you strength in times of sorrow.We know that God is too wise to make a mistake and too just to do any wrong. "Accept what God allows."

Dear Rusty, Corin & Joseph,
Our family was so shocked by the news of Jennifer. We all sat around and talked about the soccer days when we would see Jennifer at the games with that sweet smile so full of life. I can tell she has touched so many people and even in her passing she will continue to touch people. God uses us in many ways that we don't understand but I feel in my heart that in her passing even though it doesn't seem right that Jennifer will make a big change in someones life are a change in a city and its people.
God bless all of you and our family will continue to pray for you.
God Bless.

Dear Ross Family,
Like many others, I did not have the pleasure of knowing your wonderful daughter, but as a mother of a 27 year old daughter, I cannot imagine the pain your family is going through right now, and I hope I never find out. A parent never wants to outlive their children but quite often we do. After reading about her extraordinary life I truly believe now only the good die young! I know you are very proud of the life she lead while on this earth. She touched so many people in her short 19 years. Nothing will ease your pain now, but I believe all of Savannah is praying for God to give you comfort and peace to come again one day soon to your entire family.
With deepest sympathy,
Donna Plumbley

Mr. and Mrs. Ross, and family, my heart truly goes out to you and your family over the loss of your beloved daughter Jennifer. I truly do know what you are going through at this moment because my wife and I lost our 20 year old son this past April. I didn't know your daughter, and I don't know you personally, but I understand the pain you are going through right now. My wife and I are praying for you and your family and will continue to pray that God will give you strength in the days ahead. I have included my E-mail address if you ever need to talk to someone who understands what you are going through and what you are feeling write me.

I am another person who does not know your family. The depth of this tragedy is incomprehensible. I am the mother of a college age daughter, and this event hits so close to home for many.

I am so sorry to hear about what happened to your beautiful Jennifer. My husband & I were blessed with three beautiful daughters. I pray every day that God will take care of them for me, and every day, I thank Him for doing so. I have a Jennifer, as well. Your precious Jennifer sounds like she had everything going for her. it's unbelievable that something like this could happen to such a young, vibrant person. You all are on everyone's prayer list. Only God can get us through these times in our life, and He tells us He will never leave us, nor forsake us. I believe that!!
Just turn to Him,

Mr. and Mrs. Ross and family-
You may not remember me-my name is Sarah McDonald. I was in Joey Cetti's wedding with Jennifer when we were younger. I did not hear of Jennifer's passing untill I called Joey today. I was so shocked and saddened. I remember seeing Jennifer so many times through high school at sports and everything and we'd always see each other and say remember me? Yeah the other "flower girl". She was such a beautiful girl and had such a wonderful personality. May God be with your family during this time and watch over you and guide you through these hard days. I will be praying for you.

I do not know any of you, however, I use to live in Savannah and read each day the newspaper online. Just know that you are in my prayers and those of my students. Take your burdens completely to the Lord and He will give you comfort. It seems as if in a tragedy like this, comfort seems impossible, however, the Lord places nothing on us that we cannot bear. We just have to trust. You will always miss her, but God will ease the pain and give you strength to continue living. Just trust and obey whatever direction He leads you in.

Dear Coren and Rusty,
Charlie and I were at sea when we got the heartbreaking news of Jennifer's passing. We were unable to make an earlier return to Savannah despite trying to do so. Cece was at church on Thursday, which was a comfort when we were so far away and unable to do anything.
Not a waking hour went by that we didn't think of you and your family. You were always on our minds and in our hearts, and now that we are home, we will be in touch within the near future. May God bless you now and always,

Having spent time with Rusty in the MSI waiting room as our family dealt with an illness of a loved one on Thursday and Friday last, we just knew Jennifer would overcome this senseless attack. Our son is just a few years older than your Jenn and acquainted with her. While we cannot begin to understand that pain of your loss, as another parent our sympathy is extended to you and your family. May Jennifer's beautiful,promising light not be dimmed in vain but used as a wake up call for us all on so many different fronts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Eddie and Lisa Dean

After reading through all your condolances, I am struck by what a remarkable young lady your Jennifer was. By all accounts she was a bright light and brought joy to so many. As a mother and an old friend, my heart is breaking for you all. You and your family have shown remarkable strength and courage at this tragic time and I'm certain your faith will see you through. Coren, your wonderful e-mails about Jennifer are intended to comfort others while we are all trying to find words to make sense of this unspeakable loss. You are truly a shining example of grace, humility, and unwavering faith in God. Your many friends are all praying for you at this most difficult time. May God bless and comfort you and your family with many wonderful memories of a beloved daughter.

To the Ross family:
I am so sorry for your loss, even though I know sorry is not enough. I had the pleasure of being one of Jen's friends at Mercer. I knew her a little bit in high school, but did not become friends with her until we met at Mercer, and were in the same pledge class. I know this has been said a million times, but she really was an amazing person, and had this special way of being able to make me smile on my worst days. I loved her and will miss her deeply. Her smile, her personality, her hugs and love for life is something that I will never forget. Jen took a peice of my heart with her. I will not be the same without her, Mercer and Savannah will not be the same without her, and the entire world will not be the same without her. I have so many wonderful memories with her, that I will carry with me forever. I will never forget her and she will always have a place in my heart. Thank you for sharing your daughter with me, I am a better person today because of her.

I don't know you and will probably never meet you. I am from Savannah and heard about your daughter's attack and subsequent death when I was first home for Christmas and then back in Savannah for my uncle's funeral on Tuesday this week. I felt the need to tell you that I have been praying first for your daughter and then for you after hearing of this horrific act from my sister in law who is friends with your friend, Linda Lewis. I have a daughter her age at UGA. I will pray for you for many days and that the Lord will offer you the peace that passes understanding. I don't know WHY but I do know He will be there for you.

Dear Rusty, Mrs. Ross & family,
I had the pleasure of not only working for Rusty at Hunter Maclean, but also working with Jennifer at Hunter Maclean. From the first introduction, she made you feel like you really knew her. She was very easy to talk too. Always had a smile on her face. She would come downstairs and eat lunch with us quite often during that summer, and I was really looking forward to her returning this summer. I will always remember her that way, with that beautiful smile on her face. She was a wonderful young lady, and I thank God that I got the chance to get to know her. God bless all of you!

To the Ross family: I am deeply saddened by the senseless loss that your family has suffered. I pray that God will embrace you and give you peace and comfort at this time. I am the mother of a 23 year old son, who was critically injured by a drunk driver in 2001. He spent several months in Memorial, one of them in the MST trauma unit, where he received the most amazing care we could ever have imagined. We will forever be thankful for that.
May God Bless You all.

Your daughter's tragic and senseless death has shaken me to the core. Jennifer is not so very much older than my own daughter. I hope it comforts you to know that many, many people share your sense of loss and grief. May God hold you in His loving arms and heal your aching hearts.

To the Ross Family:
I am so very sorry for your loss, Jennifer was one of the most wonderful young people that I have ever met. I was the school nurse at SCDS for about 5 years, I knew Jennifer from about the 7th grade. Everytime I saw her she was smiling and trying to help someone. I will always remember her as a "Shining Star" which she will always be. God will be with you and your family through this tragedy; and will always look after ---Jennifer!
Love to you all!

So sorry to miss seeing you at visitation - would have given you both big hugs. I did get to visit with Mark Silvers and his family. You are living every parent's worst nightmare. Bill and I both send you our prayers for this really sad and stressful time in your life. Hugs to all - may God be with you as you pick up the pieces of your life. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting your son but lots of hugs to him too. It was comforting to me to see so many young people at the visitation and the funeral. Again, hugs and loving thoughts for you and yours.

Mr. and Mrs. Ross, Adger, and the entire Ross family,
I am so sorry about the loss of your beautiful Jennifer. Although I did not know her personally, I feel as though I did through some of my friends who I have spoken with from Mercer. I graduated in 2003, but if we had been in school at the same time, I know we would have been friends. My family (Mike, Mary, Joey, and Patrick Kistler) have been close to you all for years now, and please know that our hearts ache for you tremendousley. If there is anything you ever need, please know that we will always be here for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Rusty & Coren,
Just wanted to let you know how sorry I was to hear of your loss. I was Rusty's secretary about the time Jennifer was born. Having teenagers of my own, my heart goes out to you and your family. You all will remain in my prayers that God will comfort you through this difficult time.

Rusty and family, there are just no words to express the deep sense of loss that all who knew Jennifer must feel. There is a spirit about the whole family that makes the people around you love and care about you and Jennifer reflected that spirit. It was a very personal loss to me and many of us who cared for her. I wish I could have met all of you under better circumstances. My heart remains heavy and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time. Wendell
