I am very saddened to hear of Dixie's passing. She was truly a wonderful and loving person that I have had to pleasure of knowing for many years from First Baptist of Orange Grove. I worked late Saturday night and overslept for church Sunday morning, and that breaks my heart that I will sorely miss her wonderful smile and gracious presence at church.
