My condolence to the family of Mr. Cox, to lose a love one is the most devastating thing we, face because Jehovah God never intended it, [ Genesis 2:17] May you find comfort in knowing that you can be reunited with your love one again in the Paradise earth where death will be no more. Revelations 21:4 KJV says “And God shall wipe all tears from their faces, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall be anymore pain, for the former thigs are passed away”. May your memories of the good times you spent and these scriptures bring you comfort at this time.
.Because he loves us he sent his son as a ransom so that we may gain everlasting life. [ John 3:16]
From the Cox family, we would everyone for your heartfelt condolences. We appreciate each and everyone of you. The song says “if I can help somebody along the way, my living will not be in vain.” Reading these condolences we know that his living was not in vain. The Peanut man impacted and imparted into so many lives he shall forever live on. Again thank you. The Peanut mans Family.
With deepest sympathy to Ms. Mary and the entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
