Your Passing (Ross) Poem by Sean Toland

(07-05-2010) Ross was my best friend, we met when we were first dropped down beside each other in a big mountain of sand, which was later used to help in the building of his families home, across the street from my own. Ross was a very mature being in comparison to his friends (myself included) He was the voice of reason and the ear of compassion, he was a saintly character and in his life time I had never heard him raise his voice. It's also fair to say that he didn't have any enemies. He was stricken down with a very unusual type of cancer, he was giving weeks to live, but battled and battled and lasted almost 1 and half years fighting this horrible disease. He passed away on the 5th May 2010, aged 24, leaving behind him, a loving family, and many many friends.
