Just stopping by to say i still miss you and think of you everyday. I will always love you.

hi uncle van,
just wanted to let you know we all miss and love you very much!

Honey, thanksgiving just wasn't the same without you and Stephanie again this year. I miss everything about you. I miss your love and your friendship and your smile.

Thanksgiving was a brighter day when we were graced with the presense of Van D.S. Whiting, Jr. at the table with his beloved Melissa who is carrying his first son.
