We are just hearing of Roxie's passing, and we are very sorry for your loss. Roxie was the greatest person I have ever met, and my children loved her. The many years my children were her paper carrier, and the stories she shared with us we will never forget. This lovely lady will be missed by us all. Our prayers are with you.

Roxie has always been a incredible person. I worked with her at Chapel Hill. She is someone you could never forget. I learned many things from her. She had told many stories of her life. And I know she has lived a very full and a blessed one. Now she's with her Shep and she's now at home with her Savior. Knowing her now for 41 years I knew a every long time ago she already earned her wings. YOUR NOW HOME ROXIE AND I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. VAL.
