I didn’t know Billy personally but knew him through his sister and brother-in-law, Chris and Brenda. So sorry to hear of his passing. I know the loss is staggering in light of the fact it was unexpected.
I find comfort in this verse from God’s Word: John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.
What a perfect scripture. He was missing our family that’s passed on before us and now there’s a big ol family reunion in the Heaven! God bless you and Bob. Safe travels.
I miss you big bro! Youre “going”to the concert with me afterall, just in a different way. Woohoo! Party on, brother!
Mr. Billy Cox was a very sweet man. He was my neighbor for the last 7 1/2 years. He always said hello everyday that I saw him. We both enjoyed the cooler days in spring and fall. I will truly miss seeing him and saying hi often. May he rest in peace.
Love papa bill cox I miss him so much
