Not sure what to say?

What can I say, except that I could not have made it through this last week without the support of our wonderful family. I think Jimmy and Melissa are right, there is a little bit of Paw Paw in each of them..so it's like he is still here with us. I am truly gratefful for all our friends who were there for us at this time and also kept this bunch fed. We thank you all.

PawPaw, what can I say he was definitely one of a kind. I remember when we were little, we loved going to mawmaw and pawpaw's house and especially at Christmas we stayed a whole week and he would always have his pennies ready for his m&m machine. I remember the one Christmas when he got up and started playing the piano. I had no idea he could even play. That just amazed me. Also, anytime we would get ready to leave his house he would get mawmaw to get his wallet so he could give us a dollar....

I just wanted to say that I'm going to miss my "pawpaw". He is pretty much a big part of who I am today. I hope one day I can be at least just a little part of what a man he was. I remember when he used to take me and all my cousins out in the backyard to throw the football to us. I just remember always wanting to be around him because he always made everyone feel a little bit special. He is and always will be the rock and foundation of this family and will always be in my heart! One sweet...

It was such a privilege to meet so many of the Dixon family. I worked with Bobby and Nancy and Mark and knew Barbara from the Post Office, and knew they were some of the finest people I had ever met. But as I met Mrs. Dixon, their mother and the other siblings and wives as well as all those wonderful grandchildren, I saw that the entire family was just outstanding, such a close and loving family. It was indeed a joy and pleasure to meet the rest of this family. My sincere thoughts are with...

As a 1st cousin, I enjoyed all our wonderful times together when we were going up. My fondest memory was taking violin lessons together. If we had a good lesson Aunt Laura would take us all for a 5 cent ice cream cone which was a big treat. I will truly miss Tommy. Love to the family.

I remember also going to church with the Dixons. I remember living two doors down from them until I was 11 yrs old. Barbara was my friend until we moved to the south side of Houston. I often think of the Dixon's and always wonder if any of them ever made it to West Texas. I am sorry to hear about Mr Dixon's passing and my prayers are with the family.

Some of my fondest memories growing up were going to softball games with Mr Dixon and my dad who was his catcher...also going dove hunting with them and Mr dixons dog Pete...ole pete never got the hang of it...i chuckle every time i think of it.

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

I can remember going to Church with the Dixon's and we sat on the same row. My dad and Mr. Dixon would put all of us kids between them and you didn't dare do anything because both of them had long arms and could reach over us kids head to whoever was acting up.

Many nights both sets of parents had to walk half sleeping kids to their cars after they had been playing cards and us kids went to sleep waiting for them to get through.

I have many fond memories of Mr. & Mrs. Dixon and...
