3rd December 1940 - 11th January 2024
This site is a tribute to Verna Letitia Cox. A dedicated and much loved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Sister, family member and friend. Verna will always be remembered as someone that spent her life in sacrifice, always finding a way to give despite whatever load life had given her to carry. Her passing has left a great void in all of our lives, which we must try to fill with the creation and growth of her legacy.

Thoughts
A poem of contemplation for a generous, loving aunt and a stalwart friend:
*God’s Garden**
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, ‘Peace bethine’.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You are gone but not forgotten RIEP 🙏🏽
From the Charles and Young family 💜

If roses grew in Heaven, Lord, please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in your Mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me.
Tell her she will be missed, and when she turns to smile, tell her thank you for all she has done; and hold her for a while.
Tell her there is an ache within our heart that will never go away; friends and family will travel far and wide to remember this day.
Condolence from the Swaby family

You are gone but never will be forgotten because you are you,the most amazing generous soul that I have had the chance to meet. You never speak ill of anyone. The world is a poorer place without you.
Rest in eternal peace, Verna.
