Yesterday
Dwight was a very special man, my former neighbor and my friend. Will always cherish the time we spent together playing golf together. He always hit them straight and had a great short game. He was kind, caring and so witty. Prayers for Lynda, Stephen, Lisa and all his wonderful family. May God grant him eternal life and may his soul rest in peace.
