Mrs Cox-

It is with great sadness that we have learned of Mr Cox's death. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family. He was an amazing man who spread great joy to all around him. Know that my father treasured his friendship above all else and we feel truly blessed to have known him and for him to have him been part of our lives. Please call us if there is ever anything we can do.

Carlyn,

I'm so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I've been thinking and praying for you both since Dad's last visit back East. (He'll be there for the funeral.) Bob's life and the way he lived it have left an enduring and loving impression on countless people. I know he is at peace, but will be terribly missed. Much love to you and your family, Julie Connors
