Wilson, Beverly, Elizabeth & Family,
Hearts have been heavy in our household since Mom called with the sad news. Our families have been "back door" neighbors and friends for over 40 years - through good times and bad -and we mourn with you. There is some comfort in knowing the physical suffering is over; however, nothing we say here to you seems adequate enough to express our heartfelt sympathy. Although we cannot be there in person, please know we are there with you in spirit. Dixie was a gracious, Southern lady, and we will always think of her fondly when gazing at the "back door" of that tri-level on Water Oak Road.
