    Aunt Dixie was fun. I can still hear her laughter. I can still hear her stories. She opened my horizons by taking me to Delavan, Wisconsin, my first trip out of Chicago. I went on to travel around the world. She related to us as kids extremely well, never patronizing us, never condescending to us. Her marriage to Bob was the best marriage I have ever been privileged to witness. I loved her and I will cherish my memories of her forever. Tom

    Aunt Dixie was a wonderful, vibrant woman who was interested in all of her nieces and nephews and made each of us feel special in many different ways. My thoughts and prayers are with the McCorry Family.
