I’m so sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort help you during this difficult time. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4 & Psalms 83:18). Jesus prayed for God’s Kingdom to come because He knew it would intervene to solve all mankind’s problems even sickness and death. (Revelation 21:4,5 & Daniel 2:44).

Tom, 
Laura and I often think about the early years in Abingdon when she and Vivian were pregnant with their First Born. Our son Billy was born on the 18th 0f February 1960 
, the same that my Great Grandfather, James Franklin Cox died, and Thomas Buchanan Carr Jr. was born exactly one month later.
You and Vivian will have a Happy Reunion in heaven and we hope you and she will remember us as we, according to some experts here on the earth will predict, but, that decision will be made by the Great Architect Above, so mote it be.
