in the house of representatives
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District, of the great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize and honor the life of the late Elder Ruben Alexander Cox, Jr., a man of God, a revered spiritual and religious leader, and a beloved community servant. I include in the Record the following proclamation:
Whereas, the late Elder Ruben Alexander Cox, Jr., at an
early age, was ordained to the gospel ministry, committed to
the work and calling of God, and served as a minister for
more than 50 years;
Whereas Elder Cox dedicated his life to spreading God's
message of hope and love, he became a spiritual blessing to
many;
Whereas Elder Cox gave abundantly to charity and to his
community throughout his lifetime;
Whereas Elder Cox was an advocate for community and social
change, and one of the communities' unsung heroes;
Whereas Elder Cox built his life around faith, family and
friends;
Whereas Elder Cox, even in retirement, continued to work
with the youth in his community, mentoring and guiding them
to become selfless members of society;
Whereas Elder Cox was a devoted father, husband, and friend
who always had a wise sermon for anyone who would listen; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson,
a member of the United States House of Representatives,
representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida,
commend the late Elder Ruben Alexander Cox, Jr. for his
dedication to his family, his church, our youth and our
community.
