ITs so hard to find the right words to express my feelings about your sudden passing. I met you at the age of 12 your daughter Edna quickly becoming my best friend. I went home and told my mom i had met ednas mom and i said you were beutiful and funny! my strongest memory is a nice summer day you were giving me a ride home through the blue hills driving a blue convertable with the roof down. the music was blasting and i thought this is a women that once you meet her you will never forget. you will always remain in my heart a strong, BEAUTIFUL , honest women who believed in god . you have left me with all the lessons you gave me as a teenager about life. your childrens love for you is your legacy of all you gave to them and those who had the pleasure to meet you . i will remember you always mrs. fox i know you are at pEACE with god.

Everything I know about Dottie I've inferred from just how wonderful her daughter Edna is. In order to have raised a daughter as special as my bo-bed, Dottie absolutely, positively had to be a spectacular person. My sympathies to all the Fox family. Godspeed your mother on her way to his Kingdom.

To all of Dottie's children: Your mother touched me from the moment I met her. She was a kind, caring and spiritual woman who opened her heart, her ear, and her door to me on many occasions. I am so sorry for your loss. God blessed you with a woman of strong faith and wisdom. May her strength and wisdom live on in all of you. I pray that you all may find peace in knowing that she is with God now and living a life free of her earthbound limitations. May God bless you all.

I love you Ma and will miss you dearly. I was honored to be blessed with you as my mother. You made my life Heaven on Earth, and I am sure that you are receiving unending rewards for all of your faith and compassion that you shared with everyone during your time on Earth. Nobody was a stranger to you, and many people's lives you touched. They say that noone really dies if their memory lives on, and your memory on Earth will never fade. We will meet again someday. Until then, I will always try to share the love and understanding that you bestowed upon me. I will always love you, and will think of you everytime I look at the stars, which shine brighter now since your arrival in Heaven.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
Tear Drops Poem
They say memories are golden,
Well, maybe that is true;
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried;
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still;
In my heart you hold a piece
No one could ever fill.
But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more,
To remember the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today;
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.
If tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane;
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
