Not sure what to say?

Dear Perri & Family:
I was very sorry to learn of the recent passing of your father. Though he is no longer with us day-to-day, he is always with us in our memories and through his many stories and writings.

Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Perri and family:

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with each of you during this very difficult time.

Beulah; Perri Scott Phillip and Douglas,

First of all let me say how sad I am to note the passing of Willis, your daddy, your grand-dad, your father-in-law and your friend; I share your sorrow and pray for your strength, and may I suggest you draw that strength from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now on to his memory.... WOW is about all I can say. I also laugh when I think of him, oh how he loved a good laugh and having fun.
I have known Willis for probably 50 years, dating back...

Sorry to hear about Mr. Cox's passing. He was a warm and expressive soul who made everyone he met his friend. He and his wife, Rosemary, will always be remembered by the residents of James Store.

Perri and family,

We are so sorry for your loss. Although we only knew your dad from his Wal-Mart days, he always had a pleasant greeting for eveyone.

Please tell Douglas we are thinking of him. I still think of him coming to our house last year when Michael died. It was so nice of him to come to talk with Kristen.

May you all feel God's love surround you and lift you up.

So many memories of Willis and Rosemary as I was growing up at Liberty Baptist Church. He is sharing time with his loving wife again and having a big reunion with all that were there waiting for him. A great Christain brother and and caring person.

What a warm and wonderful man. I met him several times and felt that he was a friend, that we knew each other by sight. He will be greatly missed. I imagine that Willis now greets people at heaven's gates.He lived the life of the Christian example.-Zack Loesch

We were shocked and saddened to hear of Mr. Cox's passing. We were long time residents of Gloucester and patronized James Store, regularly. Not only did we pick up our mail, but we would sit and chat for hours with him and Rosemary. He will be greatly missed by all.......our condolences go out to the family.

Perry...Your dad was such a wonderful person. I remember fondly living next to James Store while we built our home. Running into his store and being greeted by your father and mother was the highlight of my days back then. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
