Thomas & Family This is such a shocker to the family and I but we cannot be selfish as you are at peace now. Memories will be kept with all the kids, my brother and I as God have chosen you to come on home. Please by all means do not be in heaven talking junk which I know that's pointless to say, as you have made it home! The Odom family is gonna truly miss your warmth, helping hand, kind gesture, and a man that do not mine saying whats on his mind. May you rest up now because your journey here on earth has been handled. Now you may take your bow, as we salute and honor your time you gave us!

Sincerely The Odom Family

To Lavonda we love you and the rest of the Ross family. Praying that God give you all the peace that surpasses all understanding. Since being at Washington and getting to know Ervin, he was such a joy, I picked at him about being hard headed and for talking junk, especially together with my husband. He was a good man, he would step in when he could or needed to hold the door and was part of our ushering ministry. We were shocked/ sad to hear of his passing bc he seemed to be doing better after his hospital stay, we will miss him much. RIP Ervin. Frank/Tracey Robbs.
