To Kimberly,
We were shocked to hear of Whit's passing. We will miss his humor and extensive knowledge of fine food at our gourmet get togeathers. No one will argue, that hands down his gravies and sauces made our combined efforts spectacular. We will allways remember the fun and affection you both shared.
Our hearts go out to you during this time.
Your friends,

Your friend,

Dean
