Personal note from Amanda

If you feel so compelled to contribute, I will be working on the garden and backyard project that Ross and I started together, earlier this year. Gift cards (abarclay56@gmail.com for e-gift cards) for Bi-Mart, Al's Garden Center, Coastal Farm and Ranch or your favorite local home/garden store, will go towards my ongoing project in his honor. It will also help to cover household costs for the dogs and I as we navigate this next chapter without our Ross.
