Victor & Family,
My condolences on your loss.

"...weeping remains for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5 I am also reminded of what Paul said in Corintians when he said that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven. I praise the Lord that is where Denny is now!

"...weeping may remain for a night, but joy comes in the morning." (Psalm 30:5) Paul said in 2 Corinthians that if our earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven. We know that's where Denny is right now! His eternal home - free from this world.

I enjoyed knowing Mr. Chitwood and working with him at TVA-Kingston.  I am sorry for your loss.  My thoughts & prayers are with the family.

Debbie, Victor, Patty, Steve,
We spent so many hours as children spending time with each other because of our parents bond growing up together in Scott County.  Roane county will seem like an emptier place with your dad not talking with my mom.  
Your family will be held close in my heart these next few days.   Its such a hard thing,  yet a joyful thing, to think of your dad being able to walk easier,  and do all those things that he wants to do now.
Be blessed and know that your loved, and his love will never die because of you.
Martha A. Roberts (Richmond, TX)
