BORN TO ETERNAL LIFE

ELSIE GEORGINA DIXON

On this day, 30th August, my dear Mum Elsie Georgina Dixon (nee Beckman) was born to Eternal Life - 46 years ago. You were the first born child of the young German immigrant Edward Toby Leonhardt Wilhelm Beckmann and his Australian born wife Louisa of English stock.

You grew to be a beautiful young lady, not only in looks but also in heart and spirit - and that is the way you lived your life selflessly caring for those you loved no matter how your " heart full of love" was treated.  

You were taken Home in 1971, and, I reckon Birthdays don't matter in Heaven, but anyway, Happy Eternal Birthday Mum. I think of you and pray for the repose of your soul every day.Thank you for all you gave to me in love and lessons taught by wonderful example, your life of 66 years was a frequently difficult one. Your departure took us by surprise - we should have known better.

You were truly "meek and humble of heart" and your life was lived for the benefit of others.  I am grateful to be the product of your gentle loving care.

Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord
and may the Perpetual Light shine upon her
and may she Rest in Peace'
AMEN.
