Kyle, Paul & MimiRose Oct. 2010 |
This was our very last picture of our beloved MiMi Rose, taken just
a month before her passing. She fought an incredibly painful form of cancer and we will all miss her terribly.
Her unending support and love will be forever missed - not only by her family, but her church and community as well.
She was the most loving, giving and selfless person and we will keep her in our hearts forever. She was so proud of
Kyle and we would send her pictures that she would share with her friends.
The arrival of 2011 brought some interesting things. Kyle
had to start wearing glasses for distance (just like his father). We received more snow than we'd ever seen (Remember
how it disrupted Dallas' first Super Bowl?) and we got a new cat. Her name is Toby and she's been a real joy.
Playful and unafraid of water, she'll chase just about anything that moves and loves playing with the golf balls when Kyle
practices putting in the kitchen, meaning we have to put her in another room if he wants to get anything done

Kyle was happy that his Nana and Papa (Barbara's parents) live close by and
they have watched him grow and compete. He loved his trips to Midland to see Paul's parents PapaCox and MimiRose.
PapaCox remains in our hearts after a battle with pancreatic cancer and just 3 1/2 short years later, we lost MiMi Rose, also
to cancer. They will live on forever in our hearts. Now, in 2011, just 6 months after MimiRose's passing, we lost
Kyle's other Papa to pancreatic cancer. It is inconcievable that both grandfathers are gone - both by pancreatic cancer.
We know they're all in Heaven watching over us, but we miss them terribly. We will always love you Papa Cox, Mimi Rose
and Papa.

Now Kyle was old enough to go out on the boat. Kyle loved it
and a few years later, he was bitten by the fishing bug and couldn't wait to go back out on the lake.

My Other Relatives
I have lots of cousins:
Wyatt and Catelynn Cox are in Graham, TX. Lauren, Erika, Haley and Patrick Filat are in Little Rock, Ark. I
don't get to see them as often as I'd like - but we have fun when we all get together.
