Our deepest sympathy to Connie and the family in the passing of Dwight. Our loss is heavens gain. Bro. Dwight was a great man of God who loved the Lord and lost people. My dad, Bob Clements and Bro. Dwight were great friends. They shared in the ministry for many years. I believe that Bro. Dwight and my dad were probably made of the same cloth! We look forward to the day when we will join him in heaven.

Dear Connie, We are saddened to hear about the loss of our dear brother and your husband Dwight. No doubt God has a special place for him. He had a huge impact my life. I know God used him to lead many to Jesus. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15...Love

My soul rejoices Dwight is with the Lord but my heart grieves because I'll miss him so much. Dwight was an incredible man who taught me so much about my Christian faith and life in general. I will never forget Tuesday staff meetings sitting around the table and laughing so hard we couldn't breathe at some of the things he had done. "Misplaced" parking signs that mysteriously appeared in various locations,lost glasses (on top of his head) and pancakes just to name a few. I appreciated his insight and encouragement when my heart was burdened to the point I didn't think I could go on. Connie, you are truly blessed for having such a wonderful man as your husband and the father to all of his children. My prayers and love are with you all. I love you.

Dwight was about the boldest witness for the Lord we have ever known. He never passed up an opportunity to tell someone about Jesus. He meant so much to our family as a friend and brother. He led our daughter, Laura, to the Lord in children's church and she has never forgotten that. I (Phil) had the privilege of street witnessing with him in Mexico. He was a strong influence in my Christian growth. He will always be a fond memory in our hearts partly because of his sense of humor and his love for the Lord. Our condolences go out to Connie and family. We love you all.

Dwight was truly a man of God, he walked the walk and talked the talk. My family buried my father, Don Simmons, yesterday he died of cancer March 24th. He and mom were fifty plus year friends of Dwight and family and Dick and Marcia; dated back to the late 50's and the Soul Clinic days in Texas. Dad donated thousands of the small personal Spanish bibles to Dwight and Connie's ministry, these are printed by Sowers of Seed publications here in Fort Worth, my brother Gary is the manager of this non-profit company. I told his daughter Christine by phone yesterday that we will print up and donate several thousand bibles that will be a memorial version to Dwight, should have shipped within 4 weeks. May God comfort you Connie and Dwight's family. God Bless. Dwane Simmons and our entire famiy.

Mr. Hendrick will be greatly missed. He and his wife have been a huge part of our families' lives, always there at special events and always there to encourage and inspire with their faith in the Lord. I grew up across the street from the Hendricks and I have very fond childhood memories of Mr. Hendrick. My sincerest condolences to the family.

My childhood would not have been the same loving and cheerful one had it not been for the Hendrick's role in introducing me into the principles of christianity. Year after year they would host Vacation Bible School in their home and happily drive atleast 5 of my siblings and I every Sunday to First Babtist Church. Mr Hendricks was undoubtedly a wonderful man and the kindest neighbor anyone could have. He and Connie had a huge positive effect to my whole family for almost 30 years now since they sold our house to my parents who with a growing family needed a home to call their own. My dearest condonlences to all the Hendrick's family for their loss and may they seek peace in knowing another angel made it to heaven. Sincerest Regards, Sophia Garcia (Bronx, New York City, NY)

Mr Hendrick will be geatly missed he was a terrific neighbor and a frien when you needed him our condolances go out to his family.

Pastor Dwight will always have a special place in my heart. He and his lovely wife Connie, led all three of my children to a greater knowledge of the Lord, through their Children's church ministries. He always had that little bit of extra patience with my son, Henry. Stacy, Maria and Henry remember those church days with fond memories of Bible stories and Vacation Bible school with the Hendricks. Mr. Dwight was a special friend and fellow laborer in the Lord with my dad, Henry Posio making many trips to Matamoros. The angels in Heaven are rejoicing for a saint of the Lord is finally home. We left here will miss him dearly until we meet again. My prayers are with you all.
Love, Kimberly Posio Jones
