I knew Mrs. Whitney for only a short time when I was a child. We lived down the street from her, and I came over a number of times to play and celebrate birthdays with her daughter, who was also my age. I thought Mrs Whitney was quite stylish and elegant, but also friendly and down-to-earth, always prepared with games, crafts, and activities prepared for us. My condolences to her family and friends.

Debra was a very nice friend here at St. Paul's Towers. Her obituary is impressive, all the more so for me because I had no idea about her background. Her past activities tell us so much more about her than was evident. We truly enjoyed her presence here and will miss her--especially at Ping Pong!
With admiration,
