Ross had a rough start in life and spent his first five weeks in the hospital in Columbia, MO. He became very strong and was always full of smiles. He never fell asleep without a smile appearing on his precious face. His sister Dawn was his favorite person and he would focus on her whenever she was around and didn’t like her to leave the room. He also became very excited when he would hear his papa’s voice. Although his life was very short, Ross left a deep imprint in the lives of those who loved him that will not ever be forgotten.
