My prayers to the family and especially the daughters! I visited Cochran looking for a young man who was a friend of my son's and saw Roxanne. It was my pleasure to meet her at her brother-in-law's birthday party last year. She was a lovely woman who I would have like to know more. God be with you all at this terribly sad time.

Your mother was such an incredible woman who endured so much but was able to keep pushing for the love of her family. She was sweet, kind, beautiful, caring, feisty, and beyond all courageous. The love for a mother is not something that can truly be expressed into words it goes beyond measure. Try to take comfort in knowing that she is no longer hurting and she is reunited with her love in heaven. Your mother is always with you in the light of the shining sun that kisses your faces, the wind that caresses your skin, the air you breathe, and forever in your hearts. She's raised two beautiful girls and throughout life carry her lessons she's taught you close, possess her kindness, and never stop smiling those beautiful smiles that warmed her heart.
Rest in heaven Aunt Roxanne you will truly be missed by many xoxo

My love and prayers to all of Roxanne's family, who have already been through so much. And to her daughters, I pray that they will be given the strength and understanding and courage that they need at this incredibly difficult time. Roxanne was a sweet, kind, and loving person, and she will be greatly missed. She is at peace now, and she is with Scott; I pray that gives comfort to those she leaves behind.
Keeping you all in my
thoughts and prayers-
Love, Lisa

Our world has lost yet one more beautiful smile! Jessica and Danielle, words cannot describe how sorry I
am for your loss. Roxanne was a beautiful woman, a wonderful and loving mother, sister, daughter and friend - I know you will miss her dearly. Just months ago she was such a support to our family during the loss of my brother -and I just didn't realize how sick she herself was. Sending you all love from the west coast. xo Roseann
