I remember Dixie. Vibrant, exciting. My years at PHS were the worse of my life. Dixie was not a "close friend" but she did not shun me. Some years ago she called and urged me to attend a High School reunion. It was FUN talking to her on the phone with a few good memories, but, as usual I did not and never will attend. Too much bitterness, even after decades later (1967) I received a PhD from Indiana University!! And since my life has been one happiness parade and no looking back at Peru P.S. Sorry about the recent storm. The city park (macanqua sp??) was a very nice park.

Inky and Jan, we are so sorry about the loss of your mom, gone too soon. She and your dad were wonderful neighbors, and we will miss visiting with her across the yard. God bless, Jeff and Linda

Dear Ingrid, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. I am not sure if it was suddenly or if she had been ill, but I really liked that lady an awful lot. She made my time at Curves so enjoyable and I always looked forward to seeing her and Bobbie. She had such an awesome sense of humor and even though I didn't see much of her after the place closed, I have thought of her often and it always brings a smile to my face. I don't know your brother but I hope that you will both accept my condolences. I know how very hard it is to lose your Mother. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Vicki Bankston

What great times Dixie & I had @ WARU. I was the morning announcer and Dixie wrote the local news. An excellent journalist and a lady that had a zest for life. I fondly remember her rolling into the station @ 6:29 a.m to bring me the 6:30 news. Talk about reading it "cold" I was hearing it for the first time like the listeners were. Her Mom & Dad were swell folks too always doing their best to promote Peru through their sports coverage for the Kokomo paper. Dixie will surely be missed but her happy, fun loving ways will be remember by those of us still on this side of heaven. May her family be blessed by the wonderful memories of their Mom & Grandmother.

Ingrid and Jan, you are in my prayers. Losing a parent is never easy and tomorrow is a year since my dad joined mom in Heaven. May you be comforted by family and friends in the days and weeks ahead.

Dixie...I called her "Trix"...& our friendship goes back 50 years...she was just one of those friends you just picked up where you left off. The smile, the laughs...Coach & Dixie also referred to me as their "favorite cheerleader!" I'll always have fond memories of the homecoming festivities in their front yard down on West Third...and when they brought little Inky into Tig-Arena in her mini cheerleader outfit for a pep session. We re-connected later on in life when she took over her Mom's job of writing the news for WARU where Tom was the morning DJ & I was the copy writer...oh, the stories...I felt like I helped her build that new house where the Fern's now live and couldn't get over what a flair she had for decorating. Trix and her "blues." Before Bob died, when I was home on a visit, she encouraged me to come & visit the Coach at Miller's which I did...they both were just two of my favorite people. It was way too early for you to lose your Mom Inky & Jan...but like me, you've got memories tucked away for a lifetime. As I type this you're in the middle of her memorial service and I only wish I was there to give you a hug. As I said on Facebook, there was only one Dixie Larson...she was one of a kind. I know you've both been proud to call her Mom all these years. My prayers for you both & your children and in December, boy am I gonna miss that Christmas card! Sincerely, Suzy Hilgeman Sims, Delray Beach, Fl

I am so glad that I had lunch with you, along with my sisters when I was last in Peru. We had a great day and I heard so many "good"stories from you. I was looking forward to seeing you again soon. Your friend and Peru Tiger. We had a great time in high school. Alice Kay Morgan McSkimming

Dixie! You were supposed to call me about a month ago about Danielle's engagement, or as you put it, "I think you had better send me your phone number so I can call you and we can talk". Too much typing in an e-mail, you know. I can't believe I won't hear you on the other end of the phone anymore saying "Crystal, what is happening?" Jan & Inky, you know how sorry I am for your loss. Dixie was a great lady. I just assumed she would live forever, like her mother Mary. A big light has gone out of my world for sure. I will really, really miss you.

Dixie! I hadn't finished chatting with you yet! We shared jokes and laughs, and life will be a little less fun without you here. I won't forget when you were ordered to hold a head-down position after a serious eye procedure--I called you daily with a joke. Along about day 8, you'd pick up the phone and say "tell it, Joey!" I hope to see you in Heaven. Blessings to Mike, Alex, and Jan and Family--in love, Joey Kubesch
