    We were so sorry to read of Dixie's passing. Buddy's daughter Kathy and Barry's wife Diane had seen the post on Facebook. They sent messages to the rest of us. Many of us had connected with Dixie and the rest of the family at the Bruner reunions the past two summers. I write here deepest condolences for all of you from Buddy's daughters and from me. Love each other every day. Mrs. Buddy Bruner

    Cousin Dixie was a hair stylist, seamstress, crafter, storyteller, teacher, homemaker, lover of all things godly and profitable for the soul. Her influence on this earth will remain, but she will be so missed by so many especially her precious family. Our sincere sympathy
