We send our deepest condolences to grandma's family and friends that have been touched by her life. All the wonderful pictures bring back memories of the times we spent with grandma and grandpa in Arkansas and with the rest of the family. She taught me a lot of lessons about cooking, especially biscuits. She was a wonderful woman who positively enriched my childhood memories and will never be forgotten. The most important thing I think Grandma wanted us to know was that God Loved Us all and that family is important. She opened up her Bible, read us stories, and taught us lessons. She gave us some of our childhood bibles when we were little girls. Grandma and Grandpa used to watch after all the cousins during the summer time so we could spend time together. We would have the best time eating water melons in swimming pools, racing to pick up eggs, feed the pigs, or pick out the next kitten in the litter. It was great at Grandmas and Grandpas. I will miss them both and will never forget. God Bless you. I love you.

Mike and Dale.
Please know that Grandma and Grandpa Cox both meant a great deal to me and I loved them dearly. I enjoyed the years I was a part of your family. All the extended Cox family was also a great part of my visits, the joy of getting together, laughing and sharing fellowship around the table.
You boys were their pride and joy. They loved you so much and always wanted the best for you. As you have missed Mr. Cox, you will now miss Grandma every day, but it is a blessing to know they followed the Lord and are now together again forever..
Their granddaughters, Selina, Shelby and Sarah have precious memories of their summers spent in Arkansas with Grandma, Grandpa, their Dad , Dale and the rest of the family. Please know you all were a big part of helping create the successful, thoughtful and caring adults they have become today.
I pray God will cover you both in a blanket of prayer and that you will find peace and comfort in the coming days. Take care of each other.
