My thoughts and prayers go out to Andrew and Leah as you mourn the loss of your mother. She was so proud of you and the paths you followed. I met Dixie in Calgary when she worked at Allan's Flowers and was blessed to have carried on our friendship during my weekend visits to your home in Perth after I moved to Ottawa in 1983. Though our visits were less frequent in recent years, we did manage to connect now and then and pick up where we left off. She was always so kind and interested in the lives of others. I will remember her quiet graceful manner, and her lovely laugh.

My deepest sympathy to Andrew and Leah and all the family. Dixie was my third cousin, and we became good friends as teens at family reunions. Although we went our separate ways in our separate countries, after we became adults we got together along with my brother Bill every summer when we came up to Rideau Ferry. And then when Leah moved to New York, I got to see her a few extra times when she came here. She was such a kind, caring, smart, somewhat reserved but also fun and adventurous friend and cousin. I am exactly her age and horrified by this early death, but I know she went straight up! She is missed by both my brother and me and will never be forgotten. We are so sorry for the entire extended family’s loss. Dianne Devitt
