To Sister Cora Ross, Marion, Jr., Tracy, Maurice, John, Timothy And Adam. I Could Not Offer My Condolences To Keith, Joe And Faith Without Acknowledging The Rosses. Those Who Were Around During The Glory Days Of Northside Cogic Know That There Is A Oneness That The Rosses And Andersons Share That Is Unspoken Yet Outwardly Displayed. This Oneness Transcends The Familial Relationship Shared By Sis. Ross & Sis. Anderson (I Respectfully And Quietly Whisper Cora & Frankie) And Elder Ross & Deacon Anderson. Your Oneness Was Comforting To Those Of Us Who Came From Other Denominations To Northside For The Sunday Night Services And The Friday Night Musicals. The Rosses & Andersons Embraced Me And Encouraged And Poured Into Me. I Am Extremely Grateful To Each Of You For What You Contributed To My Musical Maturation. Sister Ross, You Always Gave Me A Place To Thrive And Grow As A Young Musician In Tulsa. You Always Encouraged Me To Hone My Musical Skills As The Dean Of Music For The Ok Northwest Jurisdiction Of The Cogic. So To You Sister Ross And The Ross Clan I Say “Thank You” As I Offer You My Deepest And Heartfelt Sympathy Of Your Sainted Sister And Aunt.
