To the family of Dixie,
I really enjoyed spending time with Dixie this year and being a part of her healthcare. It was great to see her after so many years. Dixie and I went to nursing school together in 1976 and she was kind to me. As a young adult she offered me a ride to school and much emotional support. I will never forget her. I know you loved her very much and she will be missed by many.
Praying for you
Miranda

Dear Norris Family,
Dixie was a dear friend to me at Florence General Hospital. She was
with me during the birth of both my
children and was very kind and special to me and my husband. I think of her every time I look at those pictures and videos. I am so
sorry to hear of her passing. She was such a sweet person I know you all have many fond memories of her as well. In deepest sympathy, Jackie Alexander, RN
