I met Dixie and Escom several years ago in their home. What a pleasure it was to visit with our new found Skaggs relatives. We took a photo of them and have that as a remembrance. The good news is that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". I know that is where she is!

Dixie was the most sweetest person I can remember growing up. Her and my mother (Ruth Skaggs) were great friends. She will be missed. My prayers are with the family.
