To the family of Ben and June Whitten,
My family moved to Virginia in 1985 and joined TUMC in 1986 and moved back to Texas in 2007. Ben and June had a smile every Sunday. We had talked with both of them and knew there were health issues but looking at them every week you would never know it. They were lovely people and touched alot of lives. God blessed you with wonderful parents. Sorry to hear of your loss. Roy and Pat Blackmon
