To the family of Bro. Willie Cox, Jr. please know that we are praying for you. I have had the privilege of pastoring Carla Lee and her family for many years. I've also had the honor of knowing her mother and baby sister. We were saddened to hear of Brother Cox's passing, because of his physical absence, but we rejoice in his transition from labor to reward. We will continue to pray for this family today, tomorrow and beyond.Adrian R. Rodgers
