Ms. Dian I'm so sorry for your lost, He just brought me over there to meet you before we both went to get our ID made. Everything just happened so fast! He really did loved you, he use to always tell me how much he love you and how u was his baby, he was just telling me and my friend that Monday before we took him to his appointment. My prayers will be with you and your family, I know it was so soon after he just came home, but God just had other plans and wanted him home with him. I will miss Dwight very much, my feelings is just so hurt by this. I been knowing Dwight since sixth grade, we just started back in catching up on lost time. I LOVE YOU DWIGHT AND I WILL MISS YOU VERY VERY MUCH, U WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART.
