I know - that's what makes it that much more sickening.

The fact that they referenced her death in the auction title made it that much more repulsive to me. It was making it sound like it's such a hot item due to that fact. If people know who Dixie Carter is, then they most likely know by now that she has passed away. It didn't need to be stated in that way.

According to two of her friends who attended her funeral (and spoke to the local press shortly after), they say Carter was first diagnosed with cervical cancer about two years ago. She seeked treatment for that, and everything seemed to be well until this past January - which is when it spread to her uterus. They said she suffered a stroke six weeks ago, which left her completely paralyzed and unable to speak. Her daughter Ginna also verified the stroke and paralysis in her eulogy that day (according to the reporters). My understanding from the article is that she was admitted to a Houston hospital when she suffered her stroke and that is where she had been until her death.

I've thought of that myself. Sad that she is gone

. She was awesome on Diffrent Strokes and Designing Women.

I started watching Designing Women recently because of her. I had seen her in Diffrent Strokes and watched that growing up (enjoyed her character) but it wasn't until recently that I started watching DW. If it wasn't for Dixie I wouldn't have gotten into DW.

Thanks for posting those wonderful pictures. Dixie is beautiful and the love is evident between she and Hal.
