I learned so much from Dixie about the power and love of God. The Woman's A Glow meetings I attended at the Cedervile Mansion will forever be the hilight of my life. She was inspirational in encouraging me and teaching me how to facilitate the woman's Bible study that the Lord lead me to started at Lake Summerset that is now in its 32nd year . I thank God that He brought Dixie into my life to become my spiritual Mom. I love you.
