Greetings to family and friends of Dixie. I would like you to know that for many years I would see Wayne and Dixie at Trinity Church. They were always friendly to me, and I have fond memories of them. I hope that the time of loss for you will be also a time of knowing the love of God through the caring of family and friends.
Diane,

I will always remember her smiling face and can-do attitude.
Blessings on here.

Cheryl and Diane – I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. She was a very sweet person.
Keri and I tried to attend the funeral, but drove to the wrong church. By the time we knew what we had done, the service would have already been in progress.
With love and prayers,

Our deepest sympathy to Dixie’s sweet family. Aunt Dixie will always be remembered for her sweet and kind disposition. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. May you find comfort and hope in the Bible’s promise, “Your dead ones will live. . . . They will rise up.” –Isaiah 26:19 The Bible teaches that man was not created by God to die, but death came about as a result of sin, way back in the Garden of Eden. –Romans 5:12. So even though death has afflicted mankind down to our day, God promises to undo the effects of death and even do away with death itself. Please read this for yourself at Revelation 21:3, 4. What a wonderful hope is presented in God’s Word. . . being able to live right here on earth in paradisaic conditions with our loved ones beside us. –Psalms 37:29 It is our hope that reading these scriptures will comfort you during this time of loss.
Was talking about you today with my mother Bobbie Deems
