Guestbook

  1. Ms Dixie was like a second mom to me. She knew when to crack the whip as needed. Loved spending time at the homestead❤️. Popcorn and fun times. She will always be remembered.
    God received another angel.

  2. RIP Dixie. Always rembering when you let me stay with you in Mooresville in my time of need when Mike was in IU Med. Ctr. Prayers to Diane & family. ❤️

  3. Dixie was one of my most favorite residents that I cared for in Assisted Living at Meadow Lakes. I was her CNA back in 2018. We had just recently been reunited because I came back to work there. Dixie was a lovely woman who deeply loved Jesus. I enjoyed always petting her beloved cat Lovey. She was also very wise. She always gave me the best advice. I am so glad that we met and I got to love and care for Dixie. She’s very special. May she rest in peace in Jesus loving arms.

  4. I will always remember you and Jim visiting us for the first time after we moved to Mooresville. Our families had so much in common, even having daughters the same age. Who would have thought it would be a life time connection. God blessed you throughout your long, wonderful, journey on earth and He will continue now that you have gone home to rest with Jim and the boys by your side. You will be missed Dixie. Rest in peace.
