(Carlisle) Cox Born March 17, 1895 Pike, Indian Territory "Faith, Hope and Charity are the three most important things a Christian can have, according to the Apostle Paul. He went on to write about the most important one of these three, which is Charity or Love. My mind goes back to World War II when a soldier, sailor or serviceman was shot or hit sometimes his first reaction was "Lord-Jesus-God help me, forgive me." Most of the time his last words were Mother or Mom. About all a corpsman could do was to offer some stupid words of encouragement such as "hang in there, you're going to be OK." Years later, I remember these things and tend to believe that there is no distance to a Mother's love nor prayers." W.G.
