Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceI’m so sorry for your loss. Even Jesus wept at the loss of a loved one. Please remember the scriptural promises at Rev 21:3, 4 and Acts 24:15. They are sure to come true as God cannot lie. Isaiah 55:11
So sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort strengthen the family and wipe all tears from your eyes as promised at Revelation 21:3,4. Deepest Sympathy
My condolences to the Dixon family and friends. It is a painful thing to lose a precious love one in death, regardless of how long they have lived. Even Jesus wept when Lazarus died (John 11:35) and it pains our loving Heavenly Father, too. He did not purpose his human family to grow old and die but purpose us to live and enjoy life. It is still his purpose (Psalms 37:11, 29). He calls death an enemy that will be removed forever (1 Corinthians 15:26; Isaiah 25:8). He promised to awaken our love ones in the memorial tombs from asleep in death__ Hosea 13:14 “From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; from death I will recover them.” He promised to reverse the aging process__ Job 33:24,25 “Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.” What a delight it will be to see them again to enjoy life as our Creator purposed (Psalms 145:16)! Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.
It was pleasure and honor knowing you. And although you may be gone to the great beyond you will always be in my heart. Love, Martha Ishman
Ms. Dixon was a best friend and she would do anything for anyone. She loved her son, Willie. I hate she left us. I pray for her everyday and every night. She'll be greatly missed. Love, Virlon Willis
To the Dixon Family: My prayers are with you during your period of grief. Words can never express or remove your feeling of loss. Pray for strength. God is with you. Condolences. Bernice McCalla
