To The Murphy Family,
I know how your loss of Dwayne will effect your family and my prayers and thoughts are with you. Two months ago, I lost my husband and son to a car accident. The loss of a loved one is devestating but with the support of your family and church, you will go on. We knew Dwayne from when he visited our daughter, Sarah Walker, when they were in high school. We liked him very much and my husband thought he was a neat kid. God is with you now, holding you, and helping you through this time.
