I have so many good memories of Aunt Dixie growing up. She and her sisters always showed us all how important family is. I always will remember going to her house Christmas evenings with everybody. It was always a crowd but nobody ever seemed to mind. Nobody ever went hungry and everybody always felt welcome. I know without a doubt that all of her family was waiting for her when she arrived but I know that Mema and Mary were glad to have the completion of their trio! Will certainly miss her!
