What a beautiful boy! / Kimberly Jones Hi, First of all, my heart goes out to you and your family. You are so strong. This is a beautiful memorial you have created. I came across this site completely by accident. I have no idea how it came up but I was obviously meant to see it. My son, Adam, was born on the exact day Anthony was. Reading this reminds me of how fragile life is and that we are never promised tomorrow. We all need to be reminded of that from time-to-time. Thank you for doing that for me.
What a special young man, Anthony was, touched so many people on his journey home. I have been blessed by this angel on many occasion, as I have prayer for Carol and her family and as I have ministered to others who have lost a child.
I thank you Carol for allowing Anthony to be a beacon of light and Hope to so many from his place with the father. A place of sunflowers and mud puddles
May Anthony bring peace love and joy to every heart he touches.. I know today I felt tears run down my face as I read thru the site. I remember when things happened and when we again saw you back into our online group. A place where you have touched many hearts and a place where Anthony has brought light to many spirits
Bless you and thank you for sharing Anthony with us for we share a part of thr light that comes from him
Thinking of you / Diane, Mom Of Angels Michele And JJ Wade (site visitor )
What a wonderful tribute for your beloved Anthony...I understand the heartache of missing your precious son. I miss reading the daily messages you posted on the Angel Moms site. I don't get the chance to post there much but I do read the messages every day.
I have a Celebration of Life memorial ceremony on December 31st each year..... would you like to include Anthony? Please share this information, if you know of someone who would like to include a loved one. God bless you and your family.
The second annual Celebration of Life will be held on December 31, 2006 at 3 pm in Franklin Virginia. This ceremony is held in memory of loved ones from around the world and to celebrate the lives they lived. The precious memories of their lives are blessed gifts, whether here briefly or a long time, will never be forgotten.
The ceremony consists of guest speakers, continuous overhead slide presentation with pictures and dates of the loved ones, pictures and tributes placed on tables where candles are lit in their honor and memory, release balloons, and share fellowship over light refreshments. For families that live too far away to attend the event in person....their loved ones picture and tribute (tribute is written by the person wanting their loved one included... as long or short as you want) is given the same loving care and presentation as the attending families.
If anyone would like to include a loved one (child, parent, sibling, spouse, friend, etc) contact me by December 15th (the picture and tribute can be sent snail mail or email...if sending snail mail send ASAP to PO Box 154 Carrsville VA 23315). I add the names to the website after I receive the following information: First and last name of deceased Their birthday and angel day State they lived in Person submitting the loved one If they are to be included each year
Visit www.angels-arms.celebration-of.com for last year's event and this is where the new names will be listed. For more information email angelsarms2004@verizon.net

Hi Carol,
I'm sorry about the candle lighting, when I first started lighting candles I didn't want anyone to feel obligated to a light a candle for my daughter so I simply signed it, Ashley's Mom (Sue). But, over the months I have found that this frustrated some people and that was the last thing I wanted to do, was to add grief upon grief. So, if I frustrated you in anyway I am truly sorry.
Anthony is a very special boy isn't he? His smile lights up his whole being. It is my wish to continue to remember Anthony as I can't stand the thought of our angels be forgotten. His website is very uplifting and thank you for letting me visit. Talk to you soon. Thank you for visiting my Ashley also, we both appreciate it.

My thoughts and prayers / Some On Who Cares (a exgirlfriend of one of family mambers )
All my thoughts and prayers are with all of ya'll! Ya'll are really strong and people like me know and see it. All of lil anthony's family are role models to me.
Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone.
She said "Some days I feel like crap, Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit," I don't understand why you have to always be gone Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"
I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone, Please come back home...
You know the place where you used to live, Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs, Used to have a little party every Hallowe'en with candy by the pile,
It seems one thing has been true all along, You don't really know what you got 'til it's gone, Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone, Please come back home... Please come back home... Please come back home... Please come back home... Please come back home...
I open my eyes I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light I can't remember how I can't remember why I'm lying here tonight
And I can't stand the pain And I can't make it go away No I can't stand the pain
How could this happen to me I've made my mistakes Got no where to run The night goes on As I'm fading away I'm sick of this life I just wanna scream How could this happen to me
Everybody's screaming I try to make a sound but no one hears me I'm slipping off the edge I'm hanging by a thread I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered And I can't explain what happened And I can't erase the things that I've done No I can't
How could this happen to me I've made my mistakes Got no where to run The night goes on As I'm fading away I'm sick of this life I just wanna scream How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes Got no where to run The night goes on As I'm fading away I'm sick of this life I just wanna scream How could this happen to me

journal entry for febuary 1, 2005 / Carol Cox (Mom)
Dear Anthony, It is 3:00 AM feb 1 2005 and i cant sleep. all i can do is think of you. i miss you so bad. you are in my heart, you are in my thoughts constantly. i am so so sorry for my shortcomings as a mom toward you. you were such a wonderful boy. you did not ask for much, shelter, love, nourishment. you had so much love for everyone around you. I am so proud of you. my heart feels so borken now. i long for you. i miss your soft voice, your silky hair, your chubby little fingers and toes. i miss fussing at you to get up in the mornings. i think of all the memories you left us. you nursing, snuggling up to me at night, not wanting to leave my side. God knows i miss it so badly... i will finish this later. i love you baby. Close

The strength of a child / Brandon Cox (none)
I never met Anthony Cox. I never met any of his friends or family. I found the web site , just looking around on google. Fate is a funny thing. In this day in age with all the war, and suffering that we see going on world wide it's not easy to see the beauty and strength that is within a childs eyes. I see that in His eyes. I have the beautiful pictures that His mama made all around my room. I feel that when I go to sleep I don't have an angel watching over me, I feel that its just Anthony. The cool kid that loved his family. Honest love in a childs eyes. That is a thing of magic, because it fills me with strength. It makes me strong enough to love this world. Thank you Anthony. I know you are great kid, and your family loves you very much. Your spirit continues to guide us toward our own personal liberation. I know if we knew each other we would of been good friends. God bless buddy.

I came by to visit this site to pay my respects even though it is almost 2 years on.
I lost my mum in 2004 to Cancer but I was fortunate to have 31 years with her love.
We never know when God will call us home and he obviously wanted Anthony home with him up in heaven. He truly is an Angel you can see that from all of the pictures.
My thoughts and prayers will always be with you and your family and I hope our friendship continues to grow.
