Dwayne A. Hopkins

Mary,
Words cannot express the feeling within my heart for you and your children. Cheryl, Evan and I continue to lift your family in prayer. You are all very dear to us and I am so happy that our Ambassador of Love (my mom) was able to be with you as Dwayne was laid to rest. May the Lord manifest in you during your weakest moments and that you continue to find joy in your life through it all.

Dear Mary,
I wish you peace at this time of loss. Know that all of Dwayne's cousins share in that loss. God be with you.

We were sorry to hear of the loss of your dear husband and father. I wish we had the pleasure of knowing him. Knowing you and Dwayne Jr. reflects the wonderful family he was a part of. Whenever my son needed to come to your home he spoke very highly of your husband and father. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. If we can do anything including help with school please just call. Remember he will always be watching over you as your guardian angel.

Mary and Family. Words cannot begin to say how sorry I am for your loss. I can tell you were a very loving family just by working with you Mary. I always heard you say "I love you" before hanging up the phone after any telephone conversation that I witnessed. The love you shared will never be gone. I will say a prayer for you all and just keep in mind all of the great times you had together.

Maryhelen and family, we are so sad to learn of Dwayne's passing. He has been very important to us since his days in daycare and his giving of care and love to our daughter, Olivia. In this same manner he has loved his own family and I pray that now he will rest in peace and continue to watch over all of you.

To Dwayne's family and all of his friends; we are all so fortunate to have had such a warm soul touch all of us and for being part of our lives..
Dwayne (Bear) was a high school clasmmate and a friend to all.

Dwyane had a way of finding the laughter in the difficult or outrageous things.I admired his ability to be positive. I always looked forward to catching up with him at church. My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family.

Mary, know that Lloyd and I are with you in our hearts and minds in this time of rememberance for our cousin, Dwayne. Dwayne was among the younger of my cousins and I remember him well from the times he and his brother Rex spent with me and my sisters and brother in Rocky Mount. VA. Dwayne was always a very kind and gentle soul and we enjoyed his company a great deal. We felt a loss when he, Rexford Jr. and our Aunt Helen moved from Rocky Mount for their new home in Upstate New York but we...

I have spent the last few days trying to decide what to say that would be right and all I can say is that my life is better having called Dwayne my friend. He will be missed and please don't ever forget how much he loved you all. He was the proudest dad and husband. If there is anything you need please let us know.
