Thankfully, she was discharged on Wednesday, however she still needs continuous prayers for her wound to heal so she can walk back into church soon!

If you would like to send a card or note of encouragement, please send it to: Dennis Dixon c/o Bruce Dixon 3781 Sedgewick Street SW Concord, NC 28027. Thank you for your continued love, support, and faith. With gratitude, The Dixon Family
