sending love to the ross family who embraced me with loving kindness!

Deborah - I am sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I do not know your grief, but I understand it. I think of my departed mother every day.  My prayers are with you and your family.

God Bless
John Ondrusek

I’m thinking of all of the family and friends and acquaintances that were graced by Fay. I’m sure that we share in that gratitude for her and her life and how it impacted our own. I send my love and am with you all in spirit during this time of mourning and reflection. Fay was like a second mother to me and to my brother, Kitt, taking care of us for 20 years in all. I’m so glad that Lisa helped me visit her this summer. Still the sweetest person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I sure am lucky to have been loved by her. I miss her stories and her laugh. Her hugs, her empathy, and her grace.  She told great stories about her Dad and about growing up in Galveston. She was so proud of her kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. She said that she learned that she could draw when we would ask her to draw with us. I remember when she learned how to swim, and how she was always kind when I had my own hesitation about new things.  She took us all over Houston and Galveston for outings and activities. Once when a girl, Tabitha, was making fun of me by calling me Paris, she helped me come up with “Crabitha,” and that quickly stopped the taunting. Kitt and I both remember that she would share bites of her pepper steak or take the “scenic” route if we asked. She always helped me. Sometimes I had to “hold my horses,” but she always found time to help me or play with me. I never felt like a burden. I remember doing her hair and how she felt like home. Every one of my friends loved Fay. We all got along so well and are all the better and more grateful for having Fay in our lives. May she Rest In Peace. 

My condolences to the family. I recall the numerous trips with her daughter Lisa while in college to visit her mom.  It was such a delight to spend time with her mom, grandma and aunt. Memories I will treasure.

God Bless you Ross Family.
