Two Hearts
Two hearts we were as one on Earth,
Two hearts that were entwined, My love for you was ever strong,
Now you live inside my mind. Your lovely life just slipped away, That life so full of zest!
Your twinkling eyes got weary, Your beating heart took rest. I know you've gone to Heaven, From Earth you slipped away, But faith in you my dearest
Lord
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
On Sunday, February 8, 2015, Brenda tr~nsitioned from this sinful world to a sin free land; where all is at peace with no sickness, pain nor deat.t.t.~ . ~. ~

Brenda Brene Cox was born on December 25, 1959 to the late Deacon Felton Cox and Mrs. Annie Ruth Cox in College Park, Georgia.
I \
Being born on Christmas Day, Brenda was a gift to all she came in contact with. Her angelic voice would light up a room with her old time hymns and Christmas carols. Brenda worked as a Marketing Coordinator for a major food chain until her health declined. She was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She will truly be missed.
She was a product of the Fulton County School System and graduated from Russell High School in 1977. Brenda was a dedicated member of Union Missionary Baptist Church in East Point, Georgia where she served as an usher and a member of the choir.
In 1979, Brenda met her friend for life, "WC." After many years of friendship and courtship , Brenda and "WC" were united in holy matrimony on August 10, 1993.
Brenda was preceded in death by her father, Deacon Felton Cox; son , Adrian Barber and granddaughter, 9uantese Phillips.
Those left to cherish her memories: a devoted husband, William C. "WC" Barber; son, Quante Jennings; mother, Annie Ruth Cox; step mother, Evalena Cox; brother, Alex Cox; sisters, Audrey Cox, Melissa McCalla, Angela McCalla, and Vernonique Cox-Cisse; grandchildren, Keyon, Karlandra, Quanteria, Keyonte, Taniya, Antonio, Asia, Zayvian, Kelby, Kolby, and Quante' Jr; aunts, Bobbie Jean Thompson, Christine Hunter, and Carolyn Henderson; 5 brothers-in-law; 8 sisters-in-law, special friends, Vanda "Paye" Agee and Vernon Barnett, numerous other relatives and friends.
"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal "
