Dear Whitney, I am so blessed to know my Jessica had you as her BF growing up. I can still remember every detail of the day you were showing off you new cute short hair cut to Jessica to later found you both in the bathroom cutting Jessica hair because you both wanted to be twins. Precious memories, you will always be in our hearts. Patricia Chase, Puyallup

I did not know Whitney but viewing the pictures of her and her family and all the wonderful comments, she was a true blessing to be a part of your life. I know the Jared's and I know they gave so much love to Whitney. I did not have the honor to have memories of this beautiful girl, but she will forever have a place in my heart. I wish I could be there to give hugs and words of comfort to each of you. Although I know so many will be there that love you dearly, hold them close and lean on them when you need a shoulder to cry on. WE LOVE YOU WHITNEY, YOU WILL BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.
