I was so sorry to hear about my co-worker's passing. She was alway a joy to be around. We had many laughs in the teacher's lounge. Her teaching standards were always high and the students and fellow co-workers were the beneficiaries of her knowledge, humor and Christian love.

To the Family of Jacqueline L. Ross, I am so sorry to hear of your passing. My mother, brother and myself just want to express our condolences. Mrs. Ross was a great friend to my mother and an inspiration to my brother and myself as we grew up in Israel C.M.E. church. My mother will miss her daily as she is still a member at Israel C.M.E. church and I will miss her when I come to visit, because she was always there and always had a kind word to say. Thank you Mrs. Ross for being in our lives and may God continue to shine His blessings on Keith and Simone as they go through this bereavement period.

My heart is so very heavy. I never would have thought that Mrs. Ross would be gone. I know that death is inevitable. Mrs. Ross was my church member, teacher and friend. She would always offer encouragement to me and my family. Keith and Simone, I know that you already understand the legacy that Mrs. Ross left. Continue to honor her by being the best you can be. She touched so many lives and I am extremely grateful that she touched mine.
Lean to God during this time of bereavement. He is the Ultimate Comforter. Blessings to the family.

I am so, so blessed to have had Mrs. Ross as my 9th grade biology teacher, mentor and friend. She and Miss Dixon were such an integral part of my development, both at 'Velt and at Israel CME Church. To her family, find comfort in the legacy she has left, as countless students have been impacted by her love, concern and support. No matter where we are in the world, we all represent the best of what Gary is and Mrs. Ross was one of Gary's finest!
