Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

My condolences to the family of Ms. Ross. I had the pleasure of working with her at Village Square Apartments. I will always remember her sweet kind smile every time I would see her. A precious soul indeed.

Rhonda Lawing

Aunt Alice was a strong and loving woman who went out of her way to find the good in people, and joy and life. Some of my fondest memories are of her working with her plants alongside of her mother Addie Thomason.

While we here will miss her light, laughter and love, we are comforted by the knowledge that she and Momma Addie are reunited, and caring for plants together in a heavenly garden!

Mrs.Alice shopped at the Food Lion on Garrison below her house. She was a good customer. May God be with the family. Cheryl F. Houser

Mrs Ross was a very good neighbor on Henderson St. She was always kind.You all have my sincere sympathy and condolences. Linda Alexander

Praying for all the Ross Family. Kelsey, David, & Mekhi.

Rita and Family, may your memories live forever within your hearts and bring comfort, peace and laughter. May God keep and bless you all, Lisa Michelle Simpson.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
