Candy, Tiffany and Michael,
I just want to send you all a hug and prayer. It's not an easy thing to get through.
Whitney was a dynamic personality with a uniqueness that no one who ever met him could ever forget! I know I won't. Gregarious, caring and outrageously funny...
I can't help but think of Michael when I think of Whitney and vice versa! God Bless you Michael.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
