I love you Whitney! You were just too free for this world... It would be selfish of me to say that I need you here...but right now I want to. Whit you were my best friend...and always will be. I will be forever looking forward to the day I get to see you again! Until then...I will do my best to overcome this sadness and remind myself that you ARE with me, even if I can't see you. P.S. Keela now makes sure that she lets everyone of my friends know how much they mean to her...lol it's pretty weird because before she would take her sweet time warming up to anyone and everyone. Whit your my guardian angel and I know you will keep me safe. I put my trust in you. I love you! and Keela says to tell you she does too! Whevever I begin to cry for you...she comes right to my side and pats me with her paw and kisses me...haha

I love you Whit!

I am a friend of the Jamison's, I wanted to express my condolences. I know this deep pain as well. I lost my daughter almost 3 years ago. My little girl was younger, but its still the lost of a child. If ever you want some resources on dealing with grief please let Tracy know and I can forward them along. I found some books, groups and websites that really helped me. Sometimes you just need to know you're not alone...its a horrible group no one wants to belong to.
