Dear Ross Family--
We extend our sincerest sympathies and prayers on the loss of Sonie. We met through the Victory Center. Sonie was always a very caring and personable friend who always had good stories to share. She and Larry were such a wonderful couple. They are probably sharing great stories again in heaven.

To the Ross Family,
I have over 40 years of good memories of your Mom and Dad and all of you. The 4th of July, the picnics, so many other occasions on Calyx Lane, all of it.

I've been thinking about all of you alot this week, please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked for Milt and Alta Paris at the grocery store in Grand Island. Milt taught me to drive and juggle. He was also my scoutmaster.
Larry was a classmate and of course I knew Sonie when she was a teenager. I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Sally, Scott, Tracy, Tyler and your families,
May the wonderful memories you have of your Mom and Dad bring you comfort. Your Mom was a sweetheart and always fun to be around. I know she had struggled with illnesses for quite a while, so it is nice to know those struggles are no longer.
My heart and blessings go out to all of you!
