First I would like to express my condolences to the whole Ishem family....Knowing Dwight and his brothers and sister, always when Dwight would bring me over to hang out with his Mom and Dad always made me feel at home and loved. Sitting at the dinner table and breaking bread with them for a thanksgiving dinner was like having a the Joys of family to spend during the holidays....We watched football on some of the visits I came to always enjoy the time I was able to spend with him. After meeting all of the family I knew that having Dwight as my best friend I also had a second family to Love and appreciate the blessings that God puts me in the presence of Warm and Loving people like the Ishem family. Mr. Ishem(Ernest Sr.) was very much like my dad who loved his family and as well to welcome the friend of Dwight when ever I came over to visit with Dwight. When ever I was in town...Dwight would bring me over to see his parents to before I left town. That gave me the real connection to being part of the family. I thank you Dwight for giving me the pleasure of knowing and spending time with all of your family. Your family have shown me how a Good family extends their love to a someone like me....May God Bless you all in the celebration of his life that there is no sorrow but Joy that we know that God has him right next to him.......Praise Jesus. Clarence Peace
