My thoughts and prayers go to the Cox family during this difficult time. I have such terrific memories of being in Mrs. Cox's classes at St. Pet's, and of playing for hours on end with Katie at their house. All my love.

To the family of Marguerite E. Cox. We don't always have to know a person in order to have empathy for them when they lose a loved one. I would like to express my condolences as you endure this difficult time. May the "God of all comfort", comfort you at this time. Our heavenly father is "near to those who are broken at heart". Also, God is there to sustain you through all your anxieties because "he cares for you".

To all of Marges family members. We are so sorry about the loss of this great lady and teacher. We enjoyed Marge as our kids Math teacher at St. Petronille. She was fantastic and missed by all of us when she moved on. Marge will be in our prayers. Fondly, Tom and Patty Lowery Tim, Katelyn, Thomas, Maureen and Ryan

I have such fond memories of Marge--too many to record here. We had so much fun working together at St. Pet's.
She put up a "gruff" front, but was loving, sincere and supportive at heart. I will always cherish her friendship. My sympathy goes out to her family.
