My family moved her to Morris about 8 years ago and Jimmie and Karen were so welcoming, us to the neighborhood
.Jimmie was a great neighbor he would come out and help the other neighbors mow thier yards and remove thier snow . He helped out where ever he could . Jimmie would always stop what ever he was doings to say Hello as you drove by or walked by. I will always remember him impersonation of Elvis , he sang so much like him. Jimmies you will be missed . My prayers and thoughts are with Karen and the family.

Uncle Jim lived with us when I was a little girl living in Illinois. I remember laughing while he pretended to be Elvis. Jim was dating Karen at the time, they took us to see Cinderella, the first movie I can remember.
Years later, Jim and Karen invited us to speak on missions (East Asia) at their church. I could not believe the generosity of their church members. This was a reflection on the love Jim and Karen's church had for them. Thank you.
A couple of years ago, Jim called me to tell me of his cancer. I was heart broken. He told me about his grandson and how proud he was of him. Also, how much he loved the Lord and was ready for eternity in Heaven.
I pray that the Dixon family will keep these precious memories in their hearts and on bad days reflect on sweet morsels from the Lord that remind us so much of Uncle Jim. Singing praises, laughing, funny jokes, hugs and kisses, tossing you up in the air and tickling your belly.
Karen, you had a great life with Jim. He loved you. You were a great partner and soul mate. Live your life full of happiness and joy that the Lord allowed you 48 years of marriage with a wonderful, Godly man.
I love you all, Blessings.
