Robert and Family,

We were so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. Our family goes back a long way knowing your parents/family. My Grandpa was Edgar Cox (dad was Lefty) you were my late brother (Bob) age and I was Sheryl's age. Your parents were such wonderful people and I know you miss them dearly. We would always see them at Northvale on Sunday's, when we visited our grandparents in the summer time. There is peace knowing they are altogether again in heaven and all buried at Summers. Our prayers are with you and your family .

Hello Robert and all of Carl's grandchildren...
I am out-of-state and will not be able to drop by or attend the glorious service for Carl. As like many, he was a very special man and the image of a true Christian. Of course, I remember his as the builder of our home...exploring every nook and crannie and putting his approval of every nail. Then, he was such a good friend and always had a welcoming smile and genuine offer of friendship. He waved from his porch and I loved watching as he mowed the fields and was out with his cattle.
You are blessed with so many good memories. I am sad he is gone but know Jean and Sheryl were waiting at the Gates of Heaven after he was welcomed by his God.
My prayers to all of you...and your families.
Polly
