Rest in peace

No one has fought harder for their life than my uncle, Ross. He had a rare form of cancer and for about four years has made numerous trips to Little Rock for treatments, sometimes staying for months at a time. Through it all he smiled and kept a good attitude.

Finally, the doctors could do no more and he came home where he died. His visitation Friday night was a true testiment to the kind of person he was. He loved his family, his church and the small community of Coker. He was also a Christian man who walked his talk and was loved by so many.

I have no idea how many people came to pay their respects but when I left after two hours, the line was still out to back hallway and more were coming in. He was not a famous person but someone much more important than that ... he was a man of God and a wonderful husband and father. Rest in peace, Uncle Ross!

  1. Thanks for sharing your loss, death is unavoidable, but sharing memories of those we lost but will love forever, helps us to heal. Hugs to you and your family, Donna.
