I would like to send my sincerely condolence to the family and friends of Dr. Withers. Dr. Withers has been wonderful to me since my childhood,he basically was the only Dentist I had known up into my adulthood. I owe so much to him, I would hardly speak, much less smile without having my hand covering my mouth. Dr Withers always complimented me and encouraged me to believe in myself. After years of delay, I had complete dental work done at the hands of Dr Withers. I am forever indebted to him......I will always remember him and he will remain dear to my heart because he was the one who brought me back my smile. Again, I am sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Alecia Legge

Aten who was the son of Edna, a sister to your grandfather.
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

He was a fine man and provided a great service to the people of Barboursville. He will be missed by many, even those not living in Barboursville. I pray Charlotte finds peace with this fact.
