    Dear Ron, Alison and Ryan,

    I will always have very precious memories of all of you. Ross was the sweetest child, sensitive, funny and a joy to be around. When I babysat, Ross and Ryan were both part of the reason that I decided I’d like to have kids of my own. My favorite memory of Ross is putting baby Ross on the floor of the walk-in closet of the hotel room so he could rest in the quiet away from lights and noise. He was so easy going. I remember lying down next to him until he fell asleep, and I remember praying for both the boys. Those were some of the best moments of my life.

    I’m proud to be a part of your church family, and your family will be on my mind and in my prayers as you mourn the loss of your precious son and brother. I am so happy that I was able to reconnect with both Ross and Ryan in the last few years. I remember Ross got a kick out of the fact that my service dog was named Ross. God be with you all as you mourn.

    Love,
    Ruth

    My heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Ross. Although I never met him I prayed for him. I truly do admire the positive attitude he had when battling cancer. Ron and Alison and Ryan my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know Ross is at peace with our Lord and Savior and is no longer in any pain. May our Lord bless you and keep you in His care.

    Blessings,

    Cindy

    Dear Ron, Alison, and Ryan:
    When I was in Junior High I remember taking care of Ryan and little baby Ross. I was very sadden by the news of his death. I hope you will find comfort in your faith. “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast. To him be the power forever and ever. Amen”
