Love you Mom, I am so blessed to be your Daughter...we have shared so many memories together through the years. Thank you for all your advice through the years. I never thought I would be having to write your obituary a couple years after my Dad's. It was hard, but it went to show how wonderful, strong and hardworking of a person you really were. I am at peace from listening to music and hearing your favorite songs & dads favorite songs alternate here and there daily. It's amazing how life works and how people connect even when they are no longer on the earth. I hope that you are enjoying time again being with your own parents now, Grandpa and Grandpa Myers..say Hi to them for me and that I miss them along with my Dad, Grandpa Simon and all of our other family and friends. Don't forget to have fun with those celebrity musicians for me to! I am happy you are pain free and your spirit is free! I love you so much. You are now my perfect, beautiful angel of a Mother and I couldn't be much more proud of you for fighting through multiple difference cancers since December 2015. I love you always and forever and you know that. Love your daughter, Megan XOXO

My thoughts and prayers to David and her family. She made beautiful costumes for her participation in the Renaissance Festival and events. As if she stepped back in time, she really looked regal and medieval. Her sculpting was fantastic! The characters were lifelike and their clothing creased and folded as if someone sat down and she put clay on them. She formed them so realistically and without molds. They looked like they could get up and walk around the room. She was brilliant. A real asset to USDA and the community. I had no idea she and David got married. I remember when they met back in 2001 while we all worked in ITD at APHIS. Rest in Peace Dixie. A glowing star on earth and now in heaven with the angels. Love, Cheri Amos

To Dave, Austin and Lindsey, Megan and Travis, Shannen and the rest of Dixie's extended family I wanted to send my heartfelt condolences to you all. Although I never got the chance to meet her in person, I talked with her on many occasions since I came to ITD in 2010. She was truly a wonderful and funny person to interact with. We would always joke around with each other and give each other a hard time, just for the heck of it and because that's just the way I am when I know someone. I will truly miss talking with her, but all of you are in my prayers. Give yourself as much time to grieve as you need. I was told after my mother passed away that grief is like a clock, as the hour hand moves, you feel better. But then the hour hand will get back to where it started and it will hurt again, but that is ok. My father and my mother both passed away on January 12th, but 27 years apart. As that day get's closer, I start to grieve again, but I know it's ok to do that. You need to know that as well, ok? She was an awesome person and will always be a part of you. Best Regards, Eric Gorinson
