Mother of Cozy
There are no words to express the sorrow of losing you, my precious Cozette. Your dad and I were over the moon and back when you were born with all that beautiful raven hair. You were pretty and intelligent, obtaining the Presidential Academic Award in 1st grade. You were so loved and cherished. Enjoying wonderful cousins to play with was a frequent thing. You grew up with a wonderful church family. When Raistlin Caleb was born you were the happiest mother in the world. Through the accident and his year in the hospital, you were the best mom one could ask for, reading to him every day, and advocating for every step he made. I will assist in caring for him as you would, your sister Leazette is filled with compassion and love for him as well. We will do all that we can to ease his pain because he asks for you continually. As King David said in the book of II Samuel 12:23; …”I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” I will see you one day my little one,
I Thessalonians 4: 16 For the Lord himself shall decend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: v. 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. I comfort myself with the knowledge that your spirit returned to God who gave it. Until that day, I will hold you in my heart securely for the rest of my life. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away; blessed be the Name of the Lord. I am so grateful to the Lord for lending you to me; the time I had with you is a treasure. I will look for you in the throneroom of heaven when I can return to you.
Love,
Mom

PAULETTE-CHRISTINE TITUS-MORRIS
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16, KJV). I belive in the hope of eternal life for Cozette because of her baptism in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ!
“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Corinthians 15:55). My humble condolences to the entire family on behalf of the Titus’.

Our dearest friends, Twila and Ralph, so many memories of beautiful Cozy come to mind. From the little girl in frilly dresses to the beautiful teen so smart and funny. I remember so well how her eyes lit up in Sunday school and she would flash me a smile when she answered a question correctly. How she loved and rooted for the underdog and wanted those around her to feel special. I remember following her blog on caring bridge when Raistlin was in the hospital and crying as I read her heart prayers for him. She was as beautiful inside as she was outside. Fred and I are so sorry for her passing but we know that though she is absent from the body, she is present with the Lord. We love you, we grieve with you and we look forward with you to that great Resurrection morning.
All our love & prayers,
Fred & Charlene Fowler

I’ve been trying to think of what to type these past couple of days. I have no words to express how sorry I am that you had to leave us earth side so soon. I know we will all see you again, but I’m so sorry we didn’t get to catch back up after so many years. To your parents, husband, son, sister and grandma (and all loved ones), I’m so sorry for your loss. Cozy was always such a kindhearted person. She’s touched a lot of lives, and will be missed dearly. Love to you all.

Reaching a healthy old age is everyone’s hope and dream. There is nothing more important than receiving our Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and King. This one thing we know that Cozette had a personal relationship with HIM and she’s currently at HIS presence. Apostle Paul expressed his confidence that death is not the end of life for Christians. Instead, he believed that death leads to higher realm of life with the Lord our Savior (2 Corinthians 5:8). To the family, pain and sorrow are inevitable, Jesus said “In the world ye shall have tribulations (John 16:33). Trusting God’s goodness and faithfulness can help us get a good grip on gratitude. We can thank Jesus for the countless ways HE cares for HIS people and lean not on our own understanding. Lamentations 3:32 says, “Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is HIS unfailing love. Our God is faithful! May the Lord bless you and keep you.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Cozy.

Cozette and I often talked on the phone about life and whatever came to mind. We prayed, laughed, and read Bible scriptures. We shared similar testimonies, which is why I did not judge her behavior. I was able to relate to her in many ways. We developed sisterhood love and respect for one another. I will never forget Cozy in my heart and spirit. I thank God that we connected spiritually. I shared my prayer line number with Cozy, but unfortunately, she could not join. She was my friend, my sister, and my daughter. I am going to miss her funny jokes and transparency. She was a real down-to-earth person. I met her right where she was, and I had a chance to minister to her about salvation. She might not have been ready for Jesus, but he was prepared for her. May her soul rest in peace. May God continue to keep the family strong during this difficult time. God said, ” Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5. Respectfully, Sister Pamela Sheed, MS
