I Am Filled With Gratitude

AJ AZ.   high  80. Low 48

I am so very blessed to have people who care so much for Jim and I. I am surrounded by love even from those I've never met. It's amazing how true friendships grow through our blogs. 

Our neighbors here in the park have been so supportive. All I have to do is ask and it's done. I am so grateful I live in this community that is a family. And the church members have been amazing. They have helped me plan everything. I truly am blessed.

I am having a memorial service for Jim on February 26th at 11:00 a.m.  It will be held at the LDS Church  454 North Crismon Road in Mesa, AZ. If you are in the area, I would love to have you join us.

I know some people have asked about sending flowers but I would prefer that you make a donation to your favorite charity in Jim's name. 

And speaking of his name, most of you don't know what it is. He didn't care for his first name so he always went by Jim. 

"Harry James Dixon, Jr".  

It wasn't until we got married that I learned his first name was really Harry.

 I sure do miss him. The house seems so empty and its sooo quiet. Thank you again for all your kind, wonderful words.

  2. It will take time to carry on by yourself but it will happen. Not being a couple is the hardest thing to deal with. (Kathy and I have both been there.)

    It's about time.

  4. I feel so much better know that you are not alone. Real hugs are so very important. Harry James Dixon, Jr. sounds so very posh. You and Jim have had so many wonderful years together and with all your doxies that you have given such a perfect home to you will memory after memory popping into your heart. Wish I could hug you in person, each time I hug our girls I think of you and Jim.

  5. Like Contessa said this entry made me feel much better. Having family, friends and the church to support you gladdens our hearts since we are so far away from you now. Two big virtual hugs from us!
