Dwight was my brother in law, he always had a smile for me. He created two beautiful children with my sister Janine, my niece Amanda, and nephew Dwight. He had a big heart,if you needed it and he had it was yours. If he didn't have it, he'd find a way... I'll always remember that big smile, he had when he would pull up to my Grandmother Rose's house with boxes of food from his church. I know she really appreciated that and loved him like a grandson.. This is so tuff to write, because it means its true. Love You Dwightso, yes Dwightso, my mom was part Sicilian and that was her way of Italianizing his name :-). You will forever be missed, Your sister in Law, Monica
