Happy 67th birthday, Dad. (July 1, 2009). We celebrated the day with cake and ice cream and remembered the happy times spent with you during birthdays past. We miss you very much and can't wait to see you again. Love always-Rhonda.

Pastor Ross,
I am so sorry I will not be able to keep my promise to you to take care of your daughter, Shannon. She is the love of my life but now we are no longer married. You gave me the two greatest things in the world, my relationship with Christ and your daughter. However, when it comes to Earthly things, Shannon was the greatest in my life. I will forever love her deeply.
Please understand and forgive me for divorcing your daughter. It means a lot to me.

Dear Dad-
You were there when I took my first breath and I was there when you took your last. What a joy to remember the years in between. Together as a family we will celebrate your life this weekend, the first anniversary of your homegoing. We miss you every day, but know we will all see you again. Thank you Dad, for your life, love and example.
Forever your daughter- Rhonda.

Dad, I really miss you. I miss calling and telling you about the events in my life. I knew I could count on you no matter what. You were so much more than a father to me. You were my friend and spiritual advisor. The sorrow I feel on a daily basis is undescribable but I hold on to the hope that one day we will be reunited. I love you!

Dear daddy,
Happy 66th Birthday!
Although you are not here to celebrate with us, I'm sure heaven is giving you the biggest and grandest party you have ever known. I know without a doubt that this truly is your happiest birthday ever.
I miss you every day, and love you with all of my heart.
Your daughter,

To the most wondeful man and Father I have ever known. Today as we celebrate dad's, we remember you and your great joy. Shannon and Susie tied balloons to your headstone. Everyone is still adjusting to life without you. The longer you are gone the more we realize this will be a lifelong
adjustment until we see you again.
I love you! I love you! I love you!
I miss you! I miss you! I miss you!
I can't wait to see you again!!!!

To the best daddy in the whole wide world,
Words could never adequately express the love and admiration I have for you. You were a humble, patient, loving, caring, compassionate, giving, and wonderful man of God with a pure heart. You truly lived your life in the image of Jesus Christ.
Thank you for all you have done for me in my life. You loved me unconditionally, were a source of strength, gave the best hugs, and were simply the best daddy EVER! I miss you every single day, but I want you to know that you have touched me more in 17 and a half years than other dads touch their children in 50 years. You have had such an enormous influence on me, dad. Thank you for sharing your love of Jesus Christ with me. I will never be able to thank you enough. Thanks for all your prayers and for praying with me every single night.
You left this world a much better place, dad. Thank you!
I miss you and love you deeply.
Love you forever,
Susie

Dear Ross Family,
I was sadly surprised by the news about Bob. There are so many good memories of days gone by... not only of the friendship we shared but also the friendships forged between our children. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Though for now you have to say farewell... you will be with him again one day.
God Bless.

Dad,
Thanks for all of your love, kindness and Christian ways you taught me throughout the years. We had had alot of great memories that I will love and cherish the rest of my life and thank you for them. I miss you so much that it hurts in my heart that you wont be here with me and the rest of our family. I'll never forget our wonderful talks we had together on the phone and when I would come to see you. I thank God that he blessed me with a Great Minister Father that truly loved his Lord and Savior and spoke the Word of God and always wanted to win souls for Jesus. Dad, Even though our time together was just to short, I tell myself that this life is only temporary and our eternal life is in Heaven with Jesus and we will never have to cry and say goodbye again. I love you sweet Dad of mine. I'll see you later
Your daughter forever,
Lisa Renae Ross (Judson)

Pastor Ross,
you are a wonderful man who has given me many gracious memories. Not only have you touched my life in a special way, but you have given me the most divine gift a person could ever ask for. You have planted a seed within me that will forever grow, and I will be forever in your debt for this. You have given us a remarkable legacy in which to remember and use as an example for our own lives. You have left behind an amazing family which has a special place in my heart. For this and much much more, I thank you. I love and miss you Pastor Ross. You are forever in my heart.

To my Pastor, father-in-law, and my friend,
You have touched my life, as well as so many others, in such a wonderful way. You will be greatly missed. But, I find comfort knowing you are with your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in Heaven above. You brought me to Jesus Christ and my walk with God. You also helped bring to me my wonderful wife, your daughter, Shannon. I love you and will see you again!

Dad, thank you for the wonderful times and memories. You were a man full of great honesty, wisdom and integrity, a man of character. You were more than a father, you were a great friend. Your loss has left a huge hole in my heart but I look forward to seeing you again.

Laughter through tears is always the best medicine.......I think we had that on Tues. afternoon. I regret that we only had a few hours together to "go back in time". Pastor Ross was a "father figure" to me even though I have a wonderful dad, he was someone who always took me under his wing, not only as his daughters friend but as a spirtitual leader. I will always remember him as a kind, friendly, loving, faith-filled individual. He is a man, in my book, who deserves the upmost respect. So many fond memories could be shared, I am just blessed that I can consider all of you "family" I will miss your dad , but cherish each time I recollect an event that involved all of us, especially our younger years. My love and prayers of peace beyond all understanding to each of you. Love you, Cheri (ReRe)

Dear Ross Family:
I met Bob maybe 10 years ago. Over the course of those past years, Bob did a lot of painting work for me and numerous friends of mine. Of those people I referred Bob to, it became obvious that he was a man of great integrity and character. Out of the blue I would receive calls from friends of mine thanking me for sending Bob their way. Not just because of the job he did, it was more than that. They just appreciated his work and the fact that he was someone you could trust.
If you had a basket of money or pot of gold lying around your home, you knew it was safe. He just felt like a really great friend.
I hope my message is clear, Bob was one of those few men on earth who really impress you with their character, integrity and common decency.
I know he lived a very good life and was a happy man. I was proud to know him.
God Bless

Bobby and Family, I am very saddened by the loss of your father. I knew him for a short time but he was always kind to me. May you all find peace in knowing we will all meet again someday. God Bless
