I remember when you were a young man running around in wet pants and with a runny nose. All the time that we all shared as one big family I will truely miss. What stands out the most is when you told someone that I was your "Aunt" I always thought that way, and was proud that you thought the same. Thank you so much for all of the laughs, all the rap songs that you would let me hear, thanks for all the times we played the dozens, but most of all thanks for blessing me with your presence. Also thank you for running away when I tried to hit you, It made me feel like I was doing something. I love you Dwayne, and always will. Look after all the kids (like we use to make you do) and keep them safe.
