  • Dear Darlene and family

    Ken and I want to share our sympathies on the loss of your husband and father. We will always remember his warm personality and the happiness he brought to us as we watched him perform his magic.

    Our heartfelt condolences

  • I want to offer my condolences to the Hittt family and friends. It is a painful thing to lose a love one in death, regardless of how long they have Lived; even Jesus, when Lazarus died, “gave way to tears”(John 11: 35). It pains our Creator, too, and he has promised to bring our love one back to life at Isaiah 26:19 “Your dead will rise …Awake and shout joyfully you residents in the dust! …the earth will let those powerless in death come to life” then “he will swallow up death forever” (Isaiah 25:8). I hope these words give you all comfort.

  • Darlene,so sorry to read about Allen;s passing. I hope the wonderful network of family will make it easier to bear. It is never easy, I lost Ozzie 6 yrs ago and I thank God for the good memories . I think (if my memory is still working) that you and Allan got married while working at Ronco.
    I will keep you in my heart during this difficult journey
