Dear Cox Kids, I read about Bob through internet. I try to keep up with Stanton people from the Midland Reporter. I know this is a hard time for you as I've been through it. Jo Jon gave my Rice Bag Shower at their house in 1967 right before I married. Your family has always been special to me. I've eaten many lunches at Hall Drug. God Bless you during this time.

Morgan and family, We were so sorry to hear about Bob. He was truly one of a kind and I don't believe I ever saw him without a smile on his face and a friendly word for everyone. I think he was a friend to everyone who knew him. Morgan, I don't get to see you very often, but please know that I love you and I'm thinking of you now. Anita and Nubbin
