Helen Cataland Cox

Mrs. Cox was the nicest, kindest person I have ever met. It always warmed your heart to be around her. She always made me feel welcome in her home as a youngster and always wanted to see my children when we later visited my mother next door. We miss her greatly.

I have known Helen (at the time, "Mrs. Cox,") and Dr. Cox and David and Marilyn for over 40 years. They were our neighbors on Lake Florence in Winter Haven. I was 12 years old when I first met them. Helen and my mother, Jeanette, continued to live across the street from each other, after all of the children had left, until Helen moved to Tallahassee. Helen and Jeanette had a grand time together, keeping each other company and enjoying life. Helen was one of the most kind and beautiful...

She was a wonderful woman! I have some many fantastic and funny memories of her. It was a privilege to be able to help take care of her and know her. I love her so much and was so lucky to have her in my life. She loved her family so much and was so proud of all of you. She always bragged about how great y’all are! I am sending so much love your way.
