My condolences to the Cox family. 
 May God bind up the broken hearted and comfort all who mourn. - Isaiah 61:1,2

May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. (Psalms 116:15)

  Joan called me out of the blue one day in 1990, when I was serving as dean of the then-School of Education (now, Attalah College of Educational Studies). She wanted to support our programs, and from then on she became one of our most enthusiastic benefactors and a personal friend to Ken and me. In recent years I visited her as often as was comfortable for her, and we always had a lot to talk about! I will miss her feisty approach to the problems of education today and her willingness to speak out candidly. A rare quality these days when we all seem to be so hesitant to speak bluntly.   Barbara Benham Tye, Professor Emeritus

Joan was a very dear and special friend of mine.  She was a loyal supporter of Town & Gown and I had kept in touch with her via Christmas cards all these years.  Thanks for a friendship of more than 30 years.  I shall miss her.  Eric Scandrett
