Dixie June Mcclaughry

Our Mom, Grandma, Nana, sister, aunt, friend is in heaven now. A part of us will be missing her forever.

We find it hard to breathe knowing you are never going to be at the other end of the phone line or greeting us with your sparkling eyes, infectious laugh and huge hugs. No one will ever love us like you have loved each and every one of us. No matter how hard we try, we cannot picture life without you. We were proud to call you Mom and Nana.

We will miss you forever but will see your smile in the smiles of all of your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We will see your sparkling eyes as the sun glints through the clouds. We will feel your hugs as the wind blows around us. You will be missed but will forever live on in the lives of those you have left behind.
