We sure will miss talking with Dixie.I still remember her phone number after all these years. We loved her cooking. But especially her apple butter and special cookies, which in our family are known as Dixie's Christmas cookies. The only thing she ever ask of us was prayer during difficult times. We will continue to pray for you all.
