Just heartbroken to hear about the passing of Grover. Such a fine man with a huge heart. He will be missed by all that knew him! RIP Grover.
Ann, I worked with you back in 1977 at Neches Title company and remember Grover and what a happy couple y’all were. I am so sorry for your loss and hope you find peace with memories and know his spirit will remain with you always.
Ann,
Richard just showed me Grover’s death announcement.
I think about you often, and hope you be okay goD real take of hiM your friends Richard and deanie delee
My condolences, I am saddened to hear of Grover’s passing, I did not know Grover well, we grew up a few miles apart in Leon County, his grandfather and my grandfather were cousins. I knew the family well, I remember his parents and his grandparents. I suppose Grover was named after his great-uncle Grover Cleveland Cox who was known as “Cleve”. Cleve Cox used a crutch from a damaged leg from something, I never knew what.
Ann,
I am so sorry to hear of Grovers death. I don’t get out much because I am a cancer patient ( in remission so far) but know that you are in my prayers and thoughts. Sending love to you and all you and Grover’s family members. I will keep you in my prayers.
God bless you,
Claudia Barras
Ann, Thinking of you. May you find peace at the sad time.

I always looked forward to seeing you and Grover at the annual Murphy family reunions. He was such a pleasure to visit with at every one of almost fifty years of wonderful memories. God bless you!
I worked with Grover for many years. He is a great guy always willing to help. He is whole now in the presence of our LORD! Prayers for you Ann!
