James and Barbara are fellow Alcornites. I met both of them while attending Alcorn. They were college sweethearts and such a beautiful couple.
James will truly be missed. I pray that he is now resting in heaven. He will be remembered by all who knew him.
My condolences to Barbara and the rest of the family.

I did not know Mr. Fox; but I was acquainted with him through MMOV. He had so many suggestions as to how our young men can hold their heads up and make their lives count. He will be missed but never forgotten. Mrs. Fox, you are in my prayers. I hope you will draw comfort from your family, church members, neighbors and all your associates. We all look forward to your return when you decide it's time.
Thinking of and praying for you.
