Dear Whittaker Children,
Your father was a great man of God, who lived out his faith everyday. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend to all, and was an example of a servant of God through his ministry as a deacon. His love of country and support of vets was deep and unchanging. We will miss knowing that he is here on earth, but we rejoice that he has joined your precious mother in heaven. As the old song goes, "When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be!"
Our deepest sympathies and prayers,
Pastor Michael & Cindy Edwards
Orange Grove Church

PS This church was built by your mother's brother, Roy Suggs.

Mike lost his father 14 months ago. His mother died almost 15 years ago and my mother died almost five years ago. We can report that the pain slowly goes away, but never quite disappears. The pain is less because our parents were good people who lived a good life. Our prayers are with you.

Thinking of you at this time and extending deepest sympathy. In friendship and caring our hearts go out to you.
