I am so sorry to hear about Roxy. I just found out and was unable to attend the viewing. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family. May the good Lord keep you close and comfort all of you.

I never had the privilage of meeting Roxie in person, because I work in Davenport, but through out all our years of phone calls to each other about work related things, I thought the world of her. We laughed and joked many times about "situations". I will truely miss her.
