I loved Dwight. When I looked at him, he was a sweet reminder of his brother. I was SO proud of him for never giving up after Virginia passed away bc I was certain he would. He told me, "I have my kids to live for and I want to watch all of my grand babies grow up, I can't leave them."
He loved his family and that's something that no one could ever deny. As sad as it is that Dwight is no longer with us, I am happy to know that he is now in Heaven, WALKING, beside his wife, brother & sister.

I am so thankful that I married Into such an amazing family. ❤ I love you all!
