Dear Cox Family,
I am so sorry for your loss of Mick. I knew him and Rob from school, and my dad worked for your company at one time. (DelVar) I was able to see Rob once in a while when he had a delivery route to Heber and he would always update me on Mick and the family. I am very saddened and can't imagine the greif and the pain your family is suffering at this time. My thoughts are with you and
I hope your family can remain strong and be there to comfort each other.
