Dot was my husbands favorite cousin sand on the top of my list also. John passed a year before Dot and I'm sure he welcomed her with a big hug and a deep laugh. They always had a good time together. I'm sure Terry misses her mother but knows she happier now that she has no more health issues. Terry you were so good to your mother and I know she is smiling down on you..Susan Ernst

Dot was a dear friend for more than 60 years starting at Western Union. We had a lot of fun together. My sincere condolences to Terry. My daughter and I received the phone messages but had no number. Rest In Peace, Dot.

I have not seen Mrs. Fogle for almost 50 years but I still remember her kindness and friendliness. I was sad to hear of her passing. She was a fine lady.

Dottie was one of the first people I met after arriving in Tucson in 1984. Dumb computer terminals were just being introduced at work stations, and she hated them! She was used to using her IBM Selectric. We had so much fun back in those days. On some Fridays, we'd go to Rodeo Park for an extended lunch, and Dottie would bring her motor home loaded down with all kinds of goodies she had made. Many of our old friends have already passed, so I'm sure there will be a great Hughes reunion when she gets to Heaven. Rest in peace, dear friend.
