Not sure what to say?

I was deeply affected by the loss of Mrs.Cox. Our family adored the entire Cox clan. There was always some kind of fun activity going on with Mrs. Cox being in the center. I remember her playing the piano with not only her children but many neighborhood kids singing along.
Georgia, Mary, and Warrnie, I am so sorry for your loss. I cherish all the memories of Grandview Ave and your mother is at the top of the list.

Rest in peace, dear Flo. You made my mother's days in respite care at The Regency more enjoyable. She (Mary Young) treasured your friendship. I hope you two are reciting poems to each other in Heaven.

I'm so incredibly sorry for you and your family's loss God be with you all

If Henry James or Jane Austen were alive, they would find the life of Florence Cox and her wonderful family a subject worthy of their best efforts. Mrs. C, the matriarch of this household on Grandview, whose tiny physical stature was more than matched by her enormous moral character, was truly the leader of the pack. Bernie, her soulmate, was the quintessentially quiet force behind the scene. The girls and Warren created an atmosphere that was so warm and welcoming, it was hard for me as...
