Dear Judi and Family - I am so sorry to hear of Dwayne's passing. He has been my model of a GENTLEMAN since I was 8 years old. I did not get to see him as often as I would have liked, but each occasion was always special and well remembered. Weather permitting I will try to get there for the service on Wednesday. Love and prayers, Dottie##imported-begin##Dottie Almon##imported-end##
Dear Judi,
David and I want to express our love and sympathy to you and the family.
As Paul writes in 2 Timothy 4:7-8 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that dayâ?"and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."
No truer words can be used to express Dwayne's life in so many ways. May you find comfort and peace from the Lord in the days ahead.
With love,
Pastor Paula and David Koch##imported-begin##Paula and David Koch##imported-end##

Judi, Traci, Jeff, and family, We share your grief.
Dwayne wasnâ?TMt just my brother, he was much more. He was my playmate, my company, and my best friend, We grew up in the country with few children living nearby. We had wonderful Grandparents though, just a short walk away.We made mud pies and rock houses together, looked for crayfish and frogs in the creek not far from the house. We found and picked wild berries together for mama to bake pies. We had so much freedom to explore nature.
When Dwayne was just eight years old, he was hit by a drunken driver, and lost his leg. I was so afraid Iâ?TMd lost him. During his recuperation I spent the days by his bedside at the Danville hospital. He read comic books and I drank his ginger ale. My nights were spent with Aunt Dot.
As the years passed, we left our Virginia home, both married and raised families of our own. I moved to Wisconsin, he to Michigan. It took just a phone call and weâ?TMd both be right back in Virginia.
Dwayne Iâ?TMll miss you so, but will always have our shared memories.

Judi and all the family, I am so sad to hear of Dwayne's death but he fought the good fight for a long time and now he is at rest, to suffer no more. I have so many good memories of him when he lived here and since through emails and cards.. I know he loved to work in his flowers and garden like his mother. I remember the scrapbook he brought down here one time with pictures of his flowers and awards he won.So maybe now he and his mom are talking about their flowers and if there are any there Esther will be tending them and Dwayne will help.
My most sincere sympathy to each of you, Lillian Wilkes##imported-begin##Lillian wilkes##imported-end##
Dear Tompkins Family,
I am so sorry for your loss please accept my sincere condolences at this time. Something that I personally have found to be a great source of comfort is the thoughts expressed in the Bible at John 5:28,29 where we see that God is going to bring our loved ones back to life. Also at Revelation 21:4 we see that God is going to eliminate all of the causes for why we deal with sorrow,pain and even death itself. It is my sincere hope that these thoughts bring your family comfort at this time. Once again I am so sorry for your loss.##imported-begin##Sarah##imported-end##
