"Mrs. Jarrett & Family, I am so sorry to hear about Dwight's passing. May you and his wife, children and grands find comfort and peace from the Lord. Dwight and I knew each other for so many years. Remembering many years when Dwight and Michael Avery would come over to my parent's house and hang out when we were in high school. I also remember the fun times and laughter when we would come over to your house for barbecues and homemade ice cream with Dwight, Dee and Greg. I will keep you and the rest of the family in prayer. Lady."
