We’re going to miss seeing Mr. Ross sitting outside in his chair, working in his and coming over with fresh tomatos, or cucumbers.
May the love of God surround you, comfort you, and give you peace now and in the coming days ahead.
So sorry to hear of this man departing the earth. I would walk into my aunties house and see you sitting there greeting us with your smile and hug. You’ll be missed. However, the Bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Enjoy your peace and rest Mr. Horace.
