Dear Ma Fox,
You were the best teacher I ever had. I was 17 pregnant, scared and in your sociology class. You were there to lend an ear and never judged. It was the only class I wasn't afraid to go to. Then years later you came to my fathers memorial when he passed away! You were kind but also a spitfire! I am soo sorry Ann for your loss and for all who loved Ma Fox! She will never be forgotten!

RIPeace Dear Teacher. You were my Social Studies teacher in 1980. We all thought you were cool and we had to pass your Civics class as a graduatuion requirement. You made us do it! I remember you said your kid put a tape recorder under your pillow so you'd wake up to Pink Floyd singing We Don't Need No Education.....your sense of humor and genuine love for teaching shined through. Be with the Angels.

I had Ma for civics at Elgin High School. She always called us her "turtles" and when she was disgusted about something she would always say "Judas Priest"!
