Mrs. Cox was one of my favorite teachers at Shreve. My condolences to her family.
Mrs. Cox was a wonderful and favorite teacher! Prayers for her loved ones
So sorry for your loss. She was one of my favorites. Best 2nd grade teacher. Still remember her mailing me a letter in the summer and giving us a letter we wrote to ourselves when we graduated. Flat Stanley was my favorite project we did in her class and I still have it. Prayers to you and your family.
Mrs. Cox is the reason I became a teacher. After having her as my 2nd grade teacher, I job shadowed her a few years later when I was in junior high. She was retiring in a few weeks. When I left, she unpinned her wooden apple pin that was always on her sweater and gave it to me, saying I would be an amazing teacher. She was also the one to tell me my baby sister was born. I was so excited I knocked her glasses off. Prayers for her family.
What a lovely person Fernand was she was a great help with funeral dinners that we did at the church. She was always so gracious and kind. May she rest in peace🙏🏻
