Monticiello, AR Saturday, March 19, 2011 Ross & Sherri, just wanted to let you know my heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow. I am late finding out about your dad or I would have stopped by and said something to you before now. I remember when Ross and brothers used to walk down the gravel road in the cold winter time without any shoes on. I realize now how brave and hardened they had to be to walk in the snow looking for animals. I did not realize that he was so close to my age. I always thought he was a lot older than me. It is sad when neighors don't know what is going on with each other.Janie R Fuller
