Not sure what to say?

You ever sit and just think back on your life and events that took place? People that stood out ? I just did that, figured Doc would perhaps passed but was curious. He was my OB , he was funny and insightful. Me and my mom joke about a visit during which Doc says to my 5´ 100lb mom, how did she get so big lol..... the nurse says Well Dr Coxwell , I´m sure she has a dad ! We all just laughed!

He was my Doctor long ago, such a great man!!! Hugs and prayers to his family and friends

I was just remembering Wayne the other day not knowing he had been ill. We girls all enjoyed going to the Vanity Fair Community swimming pool where he was lifeguard. We all had a crush on him. He was so handsome. The three Coxwells were always the best and neatest dressers on the way to school. He was my first puppy love. What a wonderful life he had.

I was greatly saddened to learn of Wayne's death. We both grew up in Jackson, Alabama and were in the class of l960. I remember Wayne as an outstanding athlete, good student, and impeccable dresser. He once told us he stood on a chair to put on his pants so as not to wrinkle them! Great memories of him will live on in the minds of his classmates. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family.You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
