Hi all,

Lots 'o' last-minute stuff for the funeral...

1.  We will be at the viewing Sunday night so will not be home.

2.  Grand/great grandchildren have been asked to sing "Each Life That touches Ours for Good" p. 293.  The plan is to have Jim and Debi play a viola duet then sing the first verso of this hymn.  Since it is not a familiar hymn to children, please practice with them.  Here is an email from Aunt Debi, who is coordinating this:

Grandpa Dixon thought "Each Life That Touches Ours for Good" (293) had "good words for a funeral."  The author of the text, Karen Lynn Davidson, reminds us, "Most of the richest blessings of life come to us through other people."  We are all certainly feeling that as we remember Grandpa Dixon!

Grandchildren, their spouses, and even great-grandchildren are invited to sing the first verse of "Each Life That Touches Ours for Good" as part of the closing hymn at his funeral.

This is what it will happen:

When it's time, we will gather at the front of the chapel.  Jim and Debi will play a viola duet introduction.  Then you and yours will sing the first verse, adding piano accompaniment (Heather, would you be willing/able to play?).  Though It is only three lines long (and I know you're so smart you can have it memorized before I finish this email), you'll probably want to bring a hymn book with you for the other three verses.  For the second-fourth verses, let's add the congregation and organ (assuming it is in tune with the piano; Katie, would you be willing/able to play?).  To simplify, we will go straight through (no interludes).  Deanna, you won't need to lead the viola introduction.  It is your call on the first verse.  For the remaining verses, it would be great if you lead the congregation.  After, we'll all return quietly to our seats.

Glenn has proposed we practice at the beginning of the Monday viewing (10 a.m.).  If this is impossible for you, still join us, just practice at home.  Here is an lds.org link for all to enjoy:  https://www.lds.org/music/library/hymns/each-life-that-touches-ours-for-good?lang=eng

We appreciate you all!

Love, Oma and Opa

Family, you just don't know how much Dad and I appreciate all your support and love at this time. And how much grandpa appreciated your visits.  He would often say to me after everyone left, " Am I related to all these little people? And they belong to us?  Gosh Ol' Hemlock!!  I would lay in bed at night with Dad and we would just giggle about that! We feel we have the most wonderful family in the world! We love you so very very much!
