These words of heartfelt sympathy are for the family of Raleigh J. Ross.
We send you our condolences and love from his home town of Covington, Virginia.
Many of us grew up with Raleigh and have been knowing his wonderful family for many years.
As president of our Watson High School Alumni Association (the school where Raleigh was a member of the class of 1953), I had planned to send a pictorial memorial page by his family, but an unexpected family emergency arose and I was unable to do so. Instead, I have faxed a letter of condolence to you. Love, Shirley H. Burks.
