The Granger family has lost another dear beloved friend. Our father, Stanley Granger and our mother Rena, loved him very much as we all did. What a joyful time they will have with our Lord together!##imported-begin##Glynn Granger##imported-end##
My Mother sent notice of Brother Dixon's passing. Many fond memories return of Brother Dixon, and I praise God for his life, his service to the church and for all of you, his family. May you sense God's presence as you celebrate his life and his faith. Bill McReynolds, David's friend from many years ago.##imported-begin##Rev. Bill McReynolds##imported-end##
To the entire Dixon family:
My thoughts and prayers will be with you in the difficult coming days. I remember fondly the part that the Greggton First Baptist Church played in my "growing up years" in your community. It was not only our spitirual home but played a large part in our social life as well.
I remember Mrs. Dixon coming to my mother's beauty shop each week, Charles' clever sense of humor, Suzanne's beautiful blonde hair and the talent of David. A number of years ago, I attended a concert at the Park Cities Baptist Church in Dallas where David performed. There were many people there and by the time I made my way to the front he was gone, much to my disappointment.
You will miss Bro. Dixon in the coming years just as I miss both my parents every day. You were fortunate to have had him and his exemplary life as part of yours for such a long time.
May you be comforted by your memories of him.

Mrs. Dixon and Family:
We were out of town at a family funeral this weekend when we learned of Bro. Dixon's death. As I reflected on the past years, I wanted to let you know how special you both were to our family. I remember Bro. Dixon as my "very first preacher", he baptized me and later married Richard and I. When I visit back at Greggton First Baptist Church, I always have fond memories of "The Dixons".
I will be thinking of you in the days ahead. Always, know that you have friends who care and love you.

I would just like to express my heartfelt condolences in the death of Bro. Dixon. Bro. Dixon had a very special place in my heart, as he was the one who baptized me in 1973 at Greggton First Baptist, and my first pastor. I also cherish a copy of the book which he wrote on reading the Bible for history.
I was unable to attend the funeral services, but I wanted to at least let you know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers as you recover from this great loss. May our Lord Jesus Christ surround you with his arms of comfort in this time of grief, and may he uphold you with the glorious assurance of one day being reunited with Bro. Dixon again in heaven.
May God richly bless you,
