Hi Jennifer,
So sorry to hear about your dad. I've been gone from Koscuisko for over twenty years and happened to run into your mom and dad at the Jackson airport a year or two ago. They were both as nice as I remember them being and I enjoyed talking with them and hearing how you and your sister were getting along. Again, so sorry for your loss.

Julie, Jennifer and family,
I am so sorry about the loss of Mr. Belk. He used to come by our office and visit from time to time and was always such a nice person. Cling to God's promise that He will never leave us or forsake us. It is my prayer that this promise will bring you comfort as only God can give. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Doris, Bit, & Daughters,
We are so sorry to hear about my good friend, Dewitte. He was a friend for fifty years. Dewitte was responsible for our being back at Holmes our last nine years of teaching and coaching. During that time, each month the board met at HCC, he always came by to see me at the coliseum. Will not forget the times we just rode around Kosciusko and talked about old times. Dewitte and his family did great things for HCC. He will not be forgotten.

Dear Ones - We grieve with you. Dewitte's death causes such sadness for our family because we feel a strong kinship rather than friendship among our families that has existed for several generations. We are Bell's, Boyette's, Blanton's, Burns' and Shipp's - Just know that we will always love and remember Dewitte, as well as all of you.
Our prayer is that God's love, blessings and strength will sustain you.

Dewitte accomplished so much in his life, and he will be greatly missed - not only at the Riley reunions, but by his family and the many causes he served. Aunt Nettie would be proud of this grandson.

Pop, I'm going to miss you so much. I just hope one day we'll get to go fishing in Heaven since we didn't get to go like we had planned. I love you so much and I'm missing you already. You've been a great grandfather.

I am so sorry to hear of Dewitte's passing. I have dealt with him for many years in business and can not think of a more honest person. The trip that we took to Canada with Shollmier helped me to really get to know him. My prayers are with you his family.

I am saddened to read of Dewitte's passing. He loved his family and Attala County. Reminiscing with him at the Riley reunions brought back fond memories of childhood. May God's love and grace be with each of you. Love, Betty

Dewitte was a man of humble beginnings, a quiet man that never forgot his roots,raised by parents that valued God and family above all else. Dewitte will be missed. Just sign me as one of the Doty boys.
