Well baby brother it's been 17 years since you left this mortal world. Not a day goes by that i don't think about you. You have Lee, Ronnie, and Louisa with you now! I miss you all so much. My time here is dwindling. I feel it coming. I send all my love and hugs until we're all together again.

Well daddy it´s been 16 years since you left this world. I miss you all the time. I wish you didn´t have to go so soon. Michael needed a grandpa like you. Ashlynn and Michael are so much like your personality, I see you in them often. Michael is the worst. Short tempered, emotional and ADHD but a great mechanic! I´m not the healthiest person so I may see you sooner than I want. But if you can team up with my mom and work some magic up there I could sure use some help down here. It´s been a...

On this day I will celebrate the joy and happiness you brought to my life, little brother.

Your loving goodness is with me always.

Rest in peace.

All my love,

Louisa

My dearest brother Dwayne:

I miss you beyond measure. As we approach this first anniversary of your death, I find myself overwhelmed with grief and I'm lost without your love and guidance. Odd that I've managed without you for almost a year now and all of a sudden I feel totally alone without you. I couldn't do the family reunion yesterday or Linda and Dave's 4th of July because there's just too much of you in those events and I'm afraid of the emotion involved. I've kind of...

Hey little brother. Looks like you have alot of us loved ones who just can't forget and miss you terribly. Our July 4th barbecue came and went. But, we all toasted to your newfound good health and peace. The kids keep telling stories, and like Cyrstal, miss your preaching. God knows I just miss you booming voice and treasure our time together. Until we meet again, take care and give all a kiss for me. Tell Chris I love him too. His birthday was on the 11th and I slept with his "tigger"...

My Brother from another mother. My friend always, you have come to mind often lately. You and I in a dream recently was close to being real and I truly enjoyed your company. I miss you and I think of you often. The wonderful body and paint work on my
Truck and Van still looks wonderful. Also, your little namesake buddy, Dwaylee, is doing well. As the anniversary of your departure looms near, my sadness reminds me of your absence. You will always be remebered with my highest...

I love you Daddy you must have been thinking about me today because I heard our song twice today. Give my mom a kiss for me I love you. I hope I have made you proud of me I am doing the best I can I just wish I had you here to help me, your stories and preaching always made me feel better... yes yes I actually loved your preaching! I miss you and hope you will help me some how some way. I love you daddy!!

Hello little brother...

You're on my mind this morning. I miss you so much. Hope you and Mom and the rest of the family are watching over us! The streetlights that dim and flicker make me smile because I feel so much that you're signaling me. My love to you today and always.

Hello Little Brother:

I'm sure you already know your Granddaughter arrived on 1/15/09. Her mommy called this morning to tell me that she and Ashlynn Denise are doing well. It hurts to know that you aren't here to see and hold her but I know you're watching over them from above. You're ever so much on my mind, but this morning's news brought you even closer. I can feel your happiness and will do what I can to make sure Ashlynn knows her Grandpa.

I love you, Dwayne.
