A Fitting Tribute

Saturday was the Funeral for Grandma Great Dixon.
Benjamin was the first great grandchild
and that is what he called her
and it continued with all the great grandchildren.
Grandma Great was the amazing matriarch of a great family.
Many of them came together this weekend to celebrate
her life of love and service.
She leaves a large Dixon Posterity which includes
6 children and their spouses.
29 Grandchildren and 37 Great Grandchildren
(and those numbers do not include all the spouses.)
When the Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren went up to sing
during the funeral there were 7 empty middle benches in the chapel!
What a great legacy she has left
and what a great example she was to each one of us.
Our family has been richly blessed.
