Duwayne we are so very saddened that you left us all so soon. We thought we'd have you a little longer. Suzanne and I will stay close to your Cindy and help her heal, we promise. I will always cherish the concerts we attended, going to the state fair and the cat fish on a stick you shared with me, and how could I forget PBR. You were such a presence in all of our lives. We love you so very much. Rest easy my friend.

Duwayne...thank you for taking such good care of my friend Cindy. If I'm being honest, I hated you a little bit for taking her away from us in WV. But that didn't last long, once I saw how happy she was. Please visit with her often. A butterfly that softly flutters around her. Maybe a gentle breeze that lifts her hair and takes her breath away. Just suggestions. I'm sure you will have your own way of letting her know you are with her. Rest peacefully. -Anita

Though we only worked together for a short time on the PSR Project at PERS, I want to thank you for your assistance with the CSU employees. Your knowledge came in handy & your strong work ethic is the thing I still remember about you. Though you were taken far too soon, God only takes the best, so rest easy Duwayne.

My brother, it is still so hard to know you not here anymore. You were my rock, i could always count on you for advice. You will be deeply missed, you left this world way to soon. I love you Duwayne

Duwayne..thank you so much for taking such good care of my very best friend, Cindy. I hated you a bit for taking her away from us, if I'm being honest. But, after seeing how happy you made her, I got over that in no time. Rest easy knowing that we will keep her close and make sure she is alright. Drop by often to let her know you are around. Perhaps be a butterfly that flutters softly around her. Maybe a swift breeze that lifts her hair and takes her breath away. Just suggestions. I know you will find a way that's all your own. -Anita
