We love you, Mom, and always will.

Whetman family! We are saddened by the news of your mother. We have fond memories of her traveling to baseball games in Nevada and watching so many fun games while Shane and our son Ron played together in school and American legion. She was always willing to help out in any kind of event that I was involved in! May you feel the love of Our Savior at this time! Love to you all.
