I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting DeWaune through my best friend and his sister Penny. In an article, I read that he was described as "Bigger than life". That is so true. I thought that Penny had a big personality. But, her brother's were bigger. He was so kind and accommodating. He unselfishly helped us get some work done in our place of business. Although I did not know him well, I do remember that he had a smile that was illuminating. I know that my friend takes comfort in knowing that our God Jehovah now has DeWayne in his memory and we llook forward to seeing him in Paradise.
