I miss my grandmother Roxanne so much. She was always the life of everything. She knew what to say. Everyone who has met her, is lucky in my eyes. I loved all of the times I spent with her. It’s been 11 years; I can’t just “get over” or “move on” from the grief. Grandma Rox will always hold a special place in my heart. I even gave my first born her name as the middle name, to hopefully pass on her spirit.
Her cookouts, her dancing, her laugh, her infectious personally; all of it is still ingrained into my memory. I remember her beta fish, and her bird. I remember her radio with “dont touch” and “I’ll break your fingers” that she took to work. I remember her waking up early to clean and to cook breakfast. I remember her Janis Joplin playing– I sing a couple of the songs to my girls. I wish so badly she was here.

Hi Tabby, I don’t know if you remember me or not. It’s Ken. If you do remember me forgive please for hearing about your mom. We all had such fun exciting times together back in the mid 1990s. Your mom was SPECIAL to me and you both helped me alot to get through a very tough time. Again, I THANK YOU for that. I realize its been many years but I have never forgotten those who effected my life in positive way. As Roxanne and you had. Blessings and comfort to you and your family. I still have fond memories of Drew Bugs and Sabrina. Take care, maybe someday I can see you all again. Sincerely Ken Y.

George, Tabby and family:
I just wanted to extent warm wishes in your time of sorrow. Rox will be missed by all who knew her. She was a wonderful lady and friend, I am thankful to have known her.
With deepest sympathy,
Hidi, Heather and Naideen Wagner

George, Tabby and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was such a good friend and she will be sorely missed. I was so looking forward to shift change, Wednesday wings at the club, and summer pow-wows. My life was so much the better for having had her as my friend. May God hold her in his loving arms and grant her the eternal peace she so richly deserves.
With Deepest Sympathy

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Roxanne! I will always remember her as a person full of life. When I saw her, she was always having a good time! All of you had a "special place" in her heart especially George and Tabby and her grandchildren. I count myself privileged to have known her.
Sorry I will not be able to attend the services BUT please know that I have been praying for you and will continue to pray that all of you will have strength to get through this difficult time and can pull together and lift each other up.
Cherish the memories that you have of Roxanne. She will forever watch over all of you.
