Mr. Rayburn, Denise, Dean & Amber,
I am very saddened to hear of your loss. I have so many fond memories of Dixie from my younger years in High Island. I know she wanted to ring Amber and my neck many of times. We did have a lot of good times. Remember to always talk about all of the good times with each other. I will always remember her laughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Kenneth, Dean,Denise, Amber - All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Allow Aunt Dixie's spirit to be your strength in this time.

When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name live on and do all things
the same,Feed not the loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near
