Dixie Nell, (Dixieland my personal pet name for her,) always was a friend, kind, and will be remembered as a helpful soul. She was loving to all who knew her and called her friend. May she rest in peace now and have many more laughs up there as I know you believed in God and were called according to His purpose, both here on earth and in Heaven. I will miss sending you hearts and 'I love you's' once in awhile. To the family who were also my friends, my condolences in the loss of your sweet mother and also friend.
