I am so sorry to hear of Denny's passing. He was a very beloved cousin and we all shall miss him greatly. He was always tremendously thoughtful of others and I felt he was extremely tolerant of us "younger cousins" whenever we were over at the Whitakers playing and being pests in one way or another. Denny was very gracious even in his later years to come down and speak at my Mother's funeral. She was the last of all the cousin's parents to pass and he never even hesitated a minute to say yes to my request. It meant a great deal to me and would have my mother also to know he led the funeral. Thank you, Denny, for being the kind, thoughtful, and loving person you are..I am sure that God is pleased to have you finally home with him, but the rest of us will miss you.

In His Love,
Lynn Shattles Schaeffer
