To the Family of Anne Dixon,
I was privileged to meet Anne at the FDA Industrial Sterilization of Drugs and Devices Training as a FDA Investigator. Later, I was privileged again to participate in her training course of Aseptic Operations as a member of the Course Cadre.
Ms. Dixon was a wealth of knowledge in Aseptic operations that both amazed and challenged me professionally. She was willing to entertain any question and was able to make the subject interesting and informative. Her dedication and professionalism has enabled me to be a better Investigator, and now a consultant in the areas of medical devices, combination products and assessing aseptic techniques employed at numerous manufacturers in the U. S. and internationally.
I am sad to find information about her passing, and wish you many wonderful memories as time passes. Having lost both of my parents in my early adulthood, those memories blunt the pain of your loss, although you will still have experiences that you will think of telling her. It can be bitter-sweet.
God bless!
