Dexter the one thing I will say about you is that you did an EXCELLENT job making sure the trash collectors on my street, stopped leaving my trash can in my drive way! You also made sure that anytime I called with a problem it got solved quickly! I am saddened to know that you've passed so suddenly, but know that you are appreciated by not just myself, but my neighbors on my street. We thank you for your help in anything we needed done! May you forever rest in heaven Dexter!

To the White Family: "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, I will help you.

Not long after saying this, Jesus met a funeral procession coming out of the Israelite city of Nain. The dead young man was the only child of a widow. On seeing her extreme grief, Jesus was moved with pity. So, addressing the corpse, he commanded: “Young man, I say to you, Get up!” And the man sat up, and Jesus gave him to his mother.—Luke 7:11-17.

To the White Family,
You have my deepest and prayerful condolences. Dexter (D.White) was such an inspiration and funny mentor to us at FVSU. Know that God needed him to keep the curbsides of heaven recycled, and the streets of glory paved purple and gold as a path for all of us. Be blessed and trust God for healing and comfort.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My husband and I send our sincerest sympathy for the lost of your husband, son, dad, brother and friend. Please never allow anyone to tell you "God takes people" or a person's death is “God's will". The book of James 1:13 states God would never be the cause of anyone's pain or hurt. Keep praying for the answers to your questions because He will answer you with love and clarity.
