My heart goes out to all of Edna’s family. She was like a sister to me. I will always cherish the time spent with her & the “Dixon” Family. She always stayed in touch with me and wanted to know how all my family was doing. I’ll miss her but her suffering is over. Rest with Jesus and know your family will be ok. Prayers and love to all.

Greg, Teresa, Danny and Ricky, I was truly sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was a sweet soul and I always thought alot of her. She always remained a part of our family. Due to work obligations I will not be able to make either service, but you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love to all,
Your cousin, Lorrie
