I was just talking about Dewey with longtime friends from the same "Projects". Little did I know he had passed recently. We were childhood friends and lived next door to each other and I will never forget him. Much love and warmth to his siblings.

My love and deepest condolences goes to the Southern and Walker family.?? Dewey will definitely be missed! But he looked forward to a better future right here on earth that our God and Creator Jehovah promises us, when people will no longer suffer from disabilities or get sick. -Isaiah 33;24( Isaiah 35 :5,6) Even death will be done away with forever!! -Isaiah 25::8 Those promises are soon to come. Untill then may Jehovah continue to be your comfort and strength during this time. We will see Dewey again in the Paradise Earth to come!!?

To the Southern Family there is not enough words one can say to cause your sadness and sorrow to vanish completely, but many words still provide comfort, for Dewey he is in the memory of the true God, not of the times that illnesses overtook he, but the true God, Jehovah remembers Dewey has the thriving good looking man he once was. And that is the person He will resurrect when the appropriate times come, for Dewey and other loved ones , they will not get sick and die never again, for it is the promise that Jehovah has made, please read this promise when you can it's at, Revelation 21:3,4.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Kim Manning left a message on October 5, 2021:
My sincerest condolences this is a very sad time. Death is something we will never get used to because Jehovah God didn’t want mankind to die. Dewey was aware of his hope of everlasting life on earth. Dewey had a wonderful Love for his family as well as his Spiritual family and friends. Revelation 21: 3 and for let’s us know that death will one day be no more. Love you all. You are all in my Prayers Southern and Walker Families
Doris Walker left a message on October 3, 2021:
Sending my condolences to the Southern-Walker families. While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, we look forward to the time when words will fail to capture the joy of having our Heavenly Father Jehovah return your dear one (Dewey) to you. Until then allow the love of family and friends to console you today, tomorrow and forever ???
SHELIA REED left a message on October 2, 2021:
My Condolences go out to my best friend over 40yrs, Mary Helen] Dewey was part of the love that we shared, he would call me to check on me, he always asked how's your son{Jason}, he would even talk to him personally to encourage him to stay close to Jehovah. Another important thing he would always tell me how much he loved his wife. which made my heart rejoice to know how much he love her as well as how much she loved him. Naptime until Jehovah God opens your eyes, SEE YOU SOON IN PARADISE. REV 21:4-He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be any more. The former things have passed away. ISA 25:8, JEHOVAH WILL REMOVE THE BLANKET OF SIN THAT CAUSES DEATH VERY SOON AND THEN OUR DEAD LOVED ONES WILL RETURN. LOVE YOU MY FRIEND/ BROTHER. May we constantly be joyful at Jehovah's promises to remove sin which causes death and the resurrection of our dead love ones.
