Dear Mrs Hawkins, David and Dwight, I know there are no words to say that will ever take away the pain of losing Dwayne. I thank GOD that I was lucky enough to have spotted him 38 years ago walking the halls of Everett Jr High. For him being my first true love, and my dearest and best friend through the years. I truly believe that it was GOD that blessed me with the opportunity to reconnect with Dwayne after losing contact over the years, and for this I am forever grateful. Dwayne was a pure soul, and a wonderfully silly guy who loved his Mother, brothers and children more than anything on this earth. Please accept my deepest heartfelt sympathy during this trying time. Affectionately, Cathy
