    Betty was an amazing lady. I remember the day my father, Paul Fox met her. He was instantly smitten with her beauty, zest for life and intelligence. They quickly became inseparable. I was thrilled when my father asked her to become his bride. Betty brought so much love and joy into our family. She and my Dad held hands wherever they went. Often giggling over a price joke they shared. To be in their presence was to be in the presence of true love. After my father passed. Betty and I remained close. We had many adventures together. She taught me so much. Most of all she taught me to love deep and live every day to the fullest. I will miss everything about you my precious soul. Rest in peace.

    Betty was my aunt. Always fun to be around and loved life. She was always positive. Although we didn’t live close, will hold her close in my heart.
