Our condolences to a very special neighbor. I can't find the words to express these tears rolling down my face. Mr. Cox was blessed with a spirit so soft that you know at this very moment the angels in heaven cushion their wings against him. We will miss seeing him digging in the dirt, as we have missed that for years. We will miss him and we are grateful for his peaceful exit from earth. All our condolences.
