Dear Cox family,
So sorry to hear of Edda's passing. I have fond memories of Edda, Lynn and their family from when we were their neighbors in Manti. I walked past their home nearly every day on my way uptown and generally saw Edda or Lynn outside working on the yard. I could always count on a smile and a friendly "Hello" from the Coxes. I suspect she and Lynn are up in heaven right now watering the lawn and tidying up the flower beds, and waving at everyone the passes by. - Karl Mellor
