The family would like to say a special thanks to the dedicated and compassionate staff of UNC Nash Hospital for their excellent care in attending to Mr. Adcox during his illness. They would also like to pay special tribute to the Bowden family, who were beloved friends and devoted neighbors for over 45 years. A special thanks also to Englewood Baptist Church for their outpouring of love and ministry given to the Adcox family over the years, and for the constant care, support, and concern of the Pastoral Care Ministry over the past few months.
