The Tide
The tide recedes, but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, yet echoes on in sweet, soulful refrains.
For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.
Remembering Dixie
Dixie Leah Thilges, a beautiful lady, passed away peacefully on July 12 in
Burlingame. She will be remembered for her love, faith, and enduring spirit.
Dixie was born in Springfield, OH to Ted and Martha Wallace. At the age
of seven she entered the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphanage in Xenia, OH.
In 1960 she graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School and enlisted in
the Air Force. While raising two children, she attended the College of San
Mateo and earned an A.A. degree, beginning a distinguished career as a Legal
Secretary and serving as President of the SMCLSA. Her interests included
genealogical research that earned her a place with the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Dixie is survived by her husband of 55 years Michael and her children
Katherine De Lozada and Dave Thilges (Joyce). Cherished grandmother of
seven and great-grandmother of eleven. She is also survived by her siblings:
Terry, Barbara and Jennifer.
Psalm 27:4-5
The one thing I ask of the Lord ~ the thing I seek most ~ is to live in the
house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections
and meditating in his Temple. For he will conceal me there when troubles
come; he will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a
high rock.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green
pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads
me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are
with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table
before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My
cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
