Whitney McClelland

Whit, you´ll be happy to know that my daughter, Nora (delivered by Rena in 2003) is officially a Gator. Miss you, buddy and say hi to all of our dogs. -B

I was very sorry to hear of your loss. I just heard about it in an email from one of our classmates at Kent School.

Dear Rena,
I was most saddened to hear of Whitney's passing. I enjoyed seeing him and reminiscing at our 40th reunion, and I was really looking forward to catching up with him again next summer. He was one of the truly good guys, and he will be missed.

My wife, Susan and I both send our condolences and wish you strength in your time of loss.

Dear Rena,
You and the family will be in our prayers, that God may bring you all much comfort and peace at this time. Please know that if you need anything please just call.
Love,
Debbie Thornblom

Rena,
I was very sad to learn of the loss of your husband Whit. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Rena: I was so sorry to learn of Whit's death. I had just completed his file for putting his 50th Reunion Book pages together for our Kent 50th in 2010 and, as always, was captivated by his enthusiastic responses. We truly hope that you will attend and if you have anything you would like included about Whit in the reunion book, please send it to me. With deepest sympathy, Karen and Jim Mell, Kent '60

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
