Hello Mr. Ross (sorry , but that is how I will always think of you), Dave, Susan and family. Was very saddened to hear of Mrs. Ross’s passing. I have many fond memories from growing up in the neighborhood and can even remember when she was in the Melody Makers choral group along with my mom and others from town. I especially remember how her smile and laugh would light up a room. She definitely had one of those larger than life personalities that made everyone feel welcome. Debi & I will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Alan K. Marteney, P.E.

Roger - We met your family when our daughters played basketball in High School. How nice you all were to us. We have seen you through the years, and Gerry helped us sell a rental house in Stonewood 3 years ago. We were so saddened when we heard about Gerry's illness last year. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family through this difficult time. Harold & Karen Davis and Family

Hi, I went to school with Gerry. I was really shocked to see of her death. We graduated at the same time. And I knew her as a friend, when I was in school. My heart goes out to her family. I even knew her husband at one time. Shirley Booher Miller
