I am saddened to just recently hear of Cozene passing. She was such a sweet lady. I only knew her and her husband and one of the sons, Paul, I think it was, some thirty years ago when I was a postal clerk in Kountze, Tx.
It was either Paul or John? And while this is a bit off topic, did an AMAZING job of sounding EXACTLY like Cary Grant I think it was. So Paul, you made me laugh so much and Always. So sorry about the loss of your sweet Mother.
It’s been dinosaur years since I’ve seen the Bakers but remember them fondly.

Though I only knew them through my job as a postal clerk so many years
Baker family, I am so so sorry to see the passing of Cozene. She always reminded me of her sweet mother. Prayers for you all.
Cozene was a lovely Christian woman with such a sweet spirit. Our hearts and prayers go out to the Baker family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the Baker family. We are thankful God has brought our paths together, and we pray for comfort during this time of loss.
We are so very sorry to hear of Cozene’s passing. She was the most precious soul, always smiling that beautiful smile. Our prayers are with all of you.
What a treasure. A great neighbor. I saw her outside recently, tending her array of plants. She was always friendly. Cheerful and she was a true patriot. She voted.
She will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bakery Family. May you find peace during this difficult time.
Dear Christian friends,,
So very sorry to learn of the passing of dear sweet Cozene. My prayers are with all of you. Cozene was the perfect example of a Christian lady and loved deeply. She is the perfect modern example of the “worthy woman” described in Proverbs 31.
Her example will live on in each of her family, of whom she was so proud. She served her Lord faithfully, in many ways in addition to caring for her family, as the longtime church secretary of the Kountze Church of Christ. May you be comforted knowing she is safe in the arms of Jesus. My prayers are for your comfort and like David, we cannot bring them back, but we can go to them. In Christian Love, Roberta🙏🏻
We are so sorry to hear this! Cozene was such an amazing woman. We feel privileged to have known her Praying for all of you
Sending prayers for the entire Baker family. I have been proud to know and call many of you friends over the years. I pray for peace during your time of grief.
