My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. I know Ross has been sick and fighting for some time. So sorry Beatie that I won't be home from Florida until the end of next week, but I will call and drop by to see you when I am back.Life isn't always easy but you gave Ross all the love and support he could have ever asked for. Joan
May the Lord look after Ross and bless his soul. It has been five years since I last visited Lucknow and talked with Ross. He was a good man and we always enjoyed our time together reminiscing about the 1950’s. I always enjoyed visiting with Ross, Mildred and Spence as this was a favorite time of my childhood. I remember Ross as a happy and friendly cousin who always greeted me as family. All the family will be in our families’ prayers.
Respectfully,
Wayne Irwin Sr & Family in Tennessee
