Dearest Pam – I have just stumbled upon [online] the sad news of Ross’s passing – Oh, Crikey… Our belated condolences and deepest sympathies to you all - I will always remember Ross as a kind, friendly, positive soul with a dazzling smile, sparkling eyes, quick wit and an absolute devotion to you and his family... Clearly [as I can very much appreciate] the weeks and months after his departure was likely a rather challenging time for you all - Amidst this transition and the years ahead, his love will be with you - all - ALWAYS... and precious memories of happy times together will only ever be a loving thought away... May you all be comforted to know that he rests in peace - free from discomfort or distress [well, either side of gleeful barrel roll and loops above the clouds…] ... We are all blessed to have had such a ray of sunshine in our lives... May the warm glow endure from above every day... Love and hugs to you all - God bless... Peter, Hannah, Lily & Sam de Valda 🙏
So sorry to hear of Ross's passing. Thinking of you Pam. Jennie and Peter
