    A comforting message for her daughters. I know she was a wonderful mother to turn out girls like you.

    "JUST THINK OF STEPPING ON SHORE AND FINDING IT HEAVEN.

    OF TOUCHING A HAND AND FINDING IT GOD'S.

    OF BREATHING NEW AIR AND FINDING IT CELESTIAL.

    AND WAKING UP IN GLORY AND FINDING IT HOME."

I have walked the path of losing my mother and I know how difficult it is. A mother can never be replaced. I am sorry I didn't make it to the funeral. My thoughts and prayers were with you that day.

    I met Mrs. Cox while working at Monticello Healthcare.
    She loved her husband and her children and told me
    stories about them. She was sweet and could be very stern sometimes. She protected her family and friends. She had difficulty remembering, but knew her family and close friends. Mr. Waymon came every day to see her. He said when you have been married almost 60 years, the day isn't complete without seeing her. Mrs. Cox will be missed. She is now remembering everything in heaven!
