Brenda,

I cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Dwight was an amazing person. I never saw him without a smile on his face and he always brought smiles to those around him. Heaven got another angel last week. Dwight will be dearly missed. Someone so special can never be forgotten.

Words can’t mend your heartache, but those who care and share your loss wish you comfort and peace of mind. Find strength in the love of your family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are will you and all of Dwight’s family.

Dwight, better known to us as Mr. T, was one of the most genuine people we have ever known. He was our best friend for many, many years and we will miss him deeply. But he will forever be in our hearts and minds, and with us on every camping trip we ever take.
