Our thoughts and prayers are with the Dixon Family during their time of need. Lorraine was a grand woman, I remembered all of the good times I had with her and Don at the cabin on WOMAN lAKE and Moccasin Lake in Minnesota every summer where my grandpa and grandma took me fishing when I was a child. They were always warm and loving to me and made me feel welcome everytime we were there. Loraine and Don will be truly missed by us they provided me with many childhood memories.
