Whit
There hasn't been one day that has gone by since your Mom passed away that I haven't thought about her and your family! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Is there anything I can do for you?

I am so sorry for your loss. Loosing a parent is so hard. The only thing that I can tell you is that that lost feeling never goes away but day by day it does eventually get easier. I am so sorry. Let me know if there is anything that I can do, please don't hesitate!

Whit- What a beautiful picture of your momma! I have not been able to stop thinking about you and your heartache. I just want to give you a big hug. Let's try to get together over Christmas break...I'll be in Heber then. Love you and hang in there.

Oh Whit, what a beautiful quote. So perfect for the way your sweet mom lived her life. I can hardly see through my tears to type this. I miss her. I wish I could be there to give you hug, I am so looking forward to seeing you all in just a few weeks. All my love!

Whitney, what an appropriate and fitting tribute to your precious mother and friend. I still struggle daily at the loss of my dear sister-in-law and friend. I miss her every day and think of her daily. Susan was one of a kind...thoughtful, modest, bright, funny, beautiful, kind, loving, and so very spiritual. I learned so much from your mother. I am a much better person because of the influence of your dear mother. You and your brothers are a marvelous legacy to her life. I hope you are doing well. I spoke to your dad last week and he said you were getting moved in....hope all is going well with the move. When can we get together? Remember we would love to have you here for Thanksgiving....I know you have lots of offers, but ours is one of them....We love you dearly! You are in our thoughts and prayers always. Take care. Love you Always!

That quote is so beautiful and describes your mother so perfectly! Not a day goes by that I don't think of your mother, her loving and sweet example and influence, as well as your family! You are all in my thoughts and prayers!

Whit,
We can for sure get together over the break! Let's figure something out and plan it-you and Steve could even come down here and we can do something if you want-or if you are down here you should call me! Email me your phone number-I don't have any phone numbers.
My email that I always check is ajvenus@hotmail.com
I love you girl!

OMG I had no idea! I am so sorry about your mom! Hang in there and if there is anything I can do just call...I am not too far away!

You are still in my thoughts... I know we haven't kept in touch over the years, but way back when... you were one of my best friends... I just want you to know I would do anything for you, and if you ever need anything I don't think I am too far away... just down in Santaquin. Thinking of you... Beautiful post by the way!
