Sister Deborah and Family,
I didn't know your father, but I know the sorrow of losing parents. However we need not sorrow as others who have no hope. May God's grace and comforting Spirit be with you at this time and always.

Shirley and Family, I hope our prayers help sustain you and your family in the loss of Whitt. I remember when Whitt and I first met to enter the 7th grade at Belle Heth Elementary School. First thing-we had a big fight. After that he and I were good buddies througout the remainder of our school years. We loved to occasionally box, hunt for Christmas trees, and play football at RHS. Whitt was a lover of life. He'll be missed by many.
Sincerely,
Bill McCraw King and wife, Pat
