I had hoped that, being the oldest of the Theodore Dix family 'second cousins', I would be able to be there with you. . .but it did not work out that way. Many memories of good days in our youth are held warmly in my heart. My love and blessing come to all of the family. As always. . .Coochie

What a beautiful service for Elizabeth. I feel very privileged to have been there and to have known her. She had such a zest for life. It will be fun to welcome her back in the Paradise, knowing that she died faithful to Jehovah. Our condolences and love to all of her family. She will be fondly remembered. Love, Pam & Paul
