To All My Whatley Family,

My heart is broken as I know yours are too. She was a dear precious angel in my life and I will miss her so much but I have some wonderful memories of times spent with my dear "other mother". She is already having a ball up there in Heaven reunited with your daddy and all those sweet souls that went ahead of her.

My Love to All,

Louise
