Whitney had a spirit about her that shined. Her sense of humor and kind heart made people love her, and their face hurt from laughing. The world will not be the same without that bright, shining spirit.
I pray she is enjoying peace and freedom from her addiction. I am sure she is keeping them laughing in heaven.
My condolences to the family. Loved ya Whit. You will always be remembered.

To the Family of this precious soul...you don't know me but my heart goes out to you all. I am so thankful for you sharing her story. Just last night my 15 yr. old daughter said, "mom, you never talked to us about drugs". Well, today, after reading this I am. I have a 17 yr old son and I plan to sit down with them, read this and talk! I felt they 'knew better" but like you wrote, it only takes 1 time to 'try' something. Thanks for sharing your story and know that I have cried reading all that was written about your beautiful daughter. May God continue to comfort you during this time. I will be praying for your family.

Dear Cindy,
I feel so badly that you have lost your precious daughter.
As I mentioned to you when we spoke on the phone the other day, I felt led to pray for her as I read her obit on Sunday and was amazed that someone would be so honest in sharing how she passed. I didn't realize that Whitney was your daughter! Your courageous openness for sharing Whitney's journey is already helping other parents.
May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Sorrows, who lost her most precious Son and our Savior, Jesus, be a spiritual comfort to you at this very difficult time as your grieve for Whitney.
I will pray for continued strength for you. Please contact me if you need to talk.

I am so sorry for your loss of such a beautiful young lady! Its amazing to me as I read over all the different messages posted at the amount of people right here in Rockford going through the same thing we as parents are going through! I too have a daughter going through a heroin addiction and I live everyday preparing for her death - that's how awful this disease is - your strength to make the disease known is honorable. We parents can only hope that one day this epidemic will cease! I again thank you for your strength - and know I will include you in my daily prayers!

Cindy ~ I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Whitney's death. I remember when you were pregnant and waiting for her to come, and I remember her in her darling little outfits as a toddler. We haven't been in touch for many years, but I see by Whitney's picture that she grew into a beautiful woman despite her heartbreaking troubles. May God bless and comfort you.

Dear Cindy and Dave,
Christie lives in Wheaton now and she called us this morning having just found out that Whitney had died. Our entire family has been shocked and saddened with this news. I'm so sorry that we lost touch with all of you and didn't even know Whitney was struggling. Christie and I were talking about how much fun she used to have with Whitney and Cara as their dads played Monday night basketball down at the gym so many years ago. We will never forget Whitney's beautiful smile and kind heart. Thank you for sharing Whitney's story. I'm sure it will have a positive impact on so many people. May God comfort you and give you strength during this terrible time of sadness.
With love,
Faith, Dave, Conn, Jordan and Christie Kemper

I'm so sory to hear about Whitney ! I knew her from work. But I also could see she had a heart of gold! I was hoping since we hadn't seen her in awhile that she was clean and doing well... Again I am sorry.. Even at her low points in jail she still had a heart of gold and had a wonderful smile.
What STRONG parents to share her story to help others!! My prayers are with you and your family!

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for your honesty. Drug addiction is an epidemic taking young peoples lives every day and alot of people do not want to acknowledge this. This has helped me stay clean for one more day.

I was the Youth Pastor at the Salvation Army Day Camp when Whitney attended. I know there were many kids who took part and great friendships were formed there. As well as being a recreational program,it was also a place where we offered a time for kids to make a decision to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. Whitney made such a decision there. She will be missed. Our prayers are with you as you remember her life, celebrate the joyous memories, and find comfort that Lord provides.

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I did not know your daughter, however, as an 8th grade teacher I've seen how wonderful children can be led astray. I pray that now your daughter has peace and clarity, she will understand how much her family must have loved her. I admire your strength and honesty; hopefully this unfortunate event in your life will spare someone else pain in theirs. May you have peace.

I was Whitney's 6th grade homeroom teacher at Rockford Christian. I remember a girl who started out the year very shy, and blossomed into a vibrant spirit with a lot of spunk! She was my "giggler" when I would make a joke with the students. Never really an out-loud guffaw, but the big smile and cute giggle. We had a student in our room who was just getting over a long battle with cancer, and Whitney was so kind and considerate towards her. Whitney always made her feel welcome and kept her up to date on things we had done in class whenever this young girl was gone with an illness because of her treatment. Thank you for sharing her story with others. I pray that the peace that surpasses man's comprehension with be with you and your family.

I didn't know Whitney for long, but something about her touched my heart. I am glad her family was honest in her obituary, maybe it can reach out to another family suffering from a child with addiction. I met her in a very weird way, thru a mutual friend, while she was in Freeport, but something about her shined thru and I looked past her addiction and saw a young lady with ambition. I haven't seen her since October, here in Rockford. There were times that she would pop into my head and I would wonder if she was doing ok, and almost contacted her a few weeks back, wish I would have. But I understand that God makes his choices when to take people into his arms. My condolences goes out to her family and friends at this difficult time.

I remember Whitney when she was in my Girl Scout Troop #499....she and my daughter Ryanne were friends. I appreciate your strength in writing her obituary. I am using her story for my students in hopes that it will help to save a young life. God Bless you all and to Whitney, Rest In Peace.
February 14, 2011
To Whitney's parents,
I was one of Whitney's teachers at Rockford Christian in grade six. I remember her beautiful smile and sweet spirit. Her entire face would light up when she was excited about something. My heart breaks for you all and since reading the obituary, I have been praying for you. Her Rockford Christian family has all been praying for you.
I want to thank you for the courage that it took for you to write the obituary about Whitney. I know of many teachers and parents who are sharing the information you so openly shared with their own children or students. Because of your courage, Whitney is providing a powerful testimony to young people all over Rockford.
My deepest sympathy to you all,
Denise Myers

Dave & Cindy,
I remember growing up with Whitney. I remember the sleepovers and birthday parties. Especially the one where she got Space Jam. All the time in spent in Girl Scouts and going out on the boat. And making up dances to Spice Girls! I am so deeply sorry for this. I am now a mother and cannot imagine what your going through. But my prayers are with you and Whitney is in a better place.
Love,

I knew whitney, she was a friend of mine at a time when she was doing well. I remember going to a recovery function in Rockford with her. When we got back to Freeport I laughed with her until my face was covered in the eye makeup I was wearing. She was a good person. To the family I am so sorry for your loss. She was a good person. Although, she is no longer here physically, she will never be forgotten and never be gone as long as we continue to remember how we were blessed to have her in our lives.

We are all heartbroken to hear about Whitney. t seems like just yesterday I could hear Whitney and Jenna laughing in the next room as young teens.

Whitney must have been such a compassionate and caring person. I only met her twice but reading these letters I can see all the lives she touched. It chokes me up and brings tears to my eyes to see both the sorrow and the love she had.I hope that your thoughtful and inspiring words you wrote in her obituary will save souls. You judge a tree by its fruit and judging by all these heartfelt letters' contents, Whitney bore good fruit amidst her cross.

Whitney- we had soo much fun together, Its hard to write just one thing. When you were with Brittney, Kirsten, Steph, Nikki and I, we always had a smile on our face. I am blessed that I got to know you.
