 Myrtie Cox: was my grandmother on my dad's side. She was a great inspiration to me through my 36 years. my grandmother was always there for me when I was younger, she took my sister and myself in after my parents got divorced.  My grandmother instilled many qualities in me through the way she raised me. First she taught me that family was greatest  gift that anyone could have. My grandmother made sure that I always had everything that I needed (not wanted). She always told me  never  let anyone do something that you can do yourself. She taught me independence.
AJ Cox  was my grandfather. He instilled the Christian values in me. My grandfather was a preacher  and taught me that God should come first in my life. I can remember him teaching me how to pray.He taught me that pray could help me through many bad times.
Jan Taylor was my kindergarten teacher. She taught me that learning was fun amd exciting. I  can not recall ever being bored in her class. She was the type of teacher  that wanted to know my thoughts and showed concern for me if I ever was sick. I can remember her bringing me back pictures from the fieldtrip to chehaw park because I missed the trip due to the chicken poxs.
 Luther Little was my mom's dad. He was a Navy Veteran. I can remember hearing stories from the war and he would say "Sometimes people have to make decisions that other people may not like or agree with." He told me one time  trust your instincts to make your  decisions and never make one if you think you will not be able to live with yourself  after you make it.
Becky Cox   was my step mom. She married my dad when I was ten . She pasted away in 2000 due to lung cancer. She taught me that a mother's job is to take care of the house, family and others. She instilled the importance of having chores and getting them done on time. I think this helped me to become a better worker in the work place. She did not like being late for anything so therefor, we were not late.
