To my sister Shunda and the Coaxum Family,
Dexter was one of the sweetest person a girl can have as a brother-in-law he was always one way with me. The Love he had for you Shunda, lil Dex and his family was remarkable. I'm going to miss his smile and laughter. Shunda I just want you to know with those of faith, death is not a permanent loss but a temporary separation with the one we love. May all the sorrows of today fade away and God's peace and comfort fill your heart. Let your memories keep Dexter close to you in spirit and thought and always in your heart, today and forever.

Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

With Deepest Sympathy
You Big Sister Latrisha (Claryton) brother Brian (Carlita) Nephews Maurice, Ondre, and Skylaar.
We Love You.
