Mrs. Dixon has always shown me warmth and kindness for the nearly forty years that I've been coming to and around her house. Rodney and I have been friends for most of our lives and Mrs. Dixon has never shown me anything less than a mothers love. The events that have significantly affected my life, she was there to support me and I will never forget her for it. Rest in eternal peace Mother Dixon.
