My condolences to Dixie's family and friends, particulary to her son Micheal and his children, Ashley, Jared and Paige, who are my friends. Dixie was a great support to Micheal and her love for him was evident in all she did. Dixie was a great cook, especially her cabbage rolls, they were fantastic. I know Dixie was loved by her family and will be missed by all.
