Dear Mrs DeHart,
We were so sorry to hear about our lake buddy, Mr.DeHart! He made such an impression on all of us...he had to have been the most PATIENT boat driver ever. No one else had the skill (or the boat) to pull twelve skiers at one time in a ski show. He knew how to inspire us to do things we never believed we could do. Not a summer has passed that we haven't talked about the good ol' days with Mr.D.! He will be missed. You are in our prayers.

Dear Mrs. Dehart and Family,
Mr. Dehart was known to me and many, many, skiers on Claytor Lake. Back in the days when we were young and our boats weren't very powerfull, it was the biggest thrill to get Mr. Dehart to pull you behind his boat, and he seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. We loved him and we learned a lot from him. He will never be forgotten. He was the Skiers' Skier, and the Boaters Boater. Thank you for sharing him with us on all those beautiful Claytor Lake Weekends.

Mrs,Dehart,Debbie,Karen,Linda and all your family,
Mr.Dehart was a kind loving man and he was a fighter,I just wanted you all to know how very special and blessed you all were to have him in your lives. I feel that God gave me a gift by getting to know all of you and He done that by using Mr.Dehart, and all of us who took care of him were blessed to know him.He laughed even in the face of death and he wasn't afraid to meet God,he was ready to go to Heaven and we will all see him there.You all are in my prayers and just remember he will always be there for you even if you can't have him by your side.
Lots of love ,
Kathy

Am so sorry about Harry passing. I was at the old Radford Hospital when he put the TV's in. He was a man full of life who liked to cheer up the ones around him.

Dear Mrs. Dehart and Family,
I just wanted you to know that I am praying for all of you. May the love of Christ surround you during this very sad time. I pray that the comfort and healing that only comes from Him will minister to each and every one of you for He and He alone gives the peace that passes all understanding. Prayerfully you can also find comfort in knowing that Mr. Dehart is resting at the feet of the Master and is no longer in pain. He is rejoicing in the presence of the Lord!
If I can be of any help at all, please do not hesitate to call me.
Love and prayers,
Diane Whitt (Dr. B's office)
