    There are no words that can ease your heartache. Just knowing and being around Whit, you experience the sheer “Joy and Love” she had for life and those lives she touched. We definitely don’t understand the why, but know God is cradling her in His arms and welcoming her into new life with Him. Our hope and comfort rests in knowing we will meet again.
    Giving thanks for Whitney’s life even though short. His Love Endures Forever.
