Collier at March 17, 2009 10:20 PMDear Kimberly, Jamie, Kennedy, Woody, Carolyn & Christopher: I will never forget holding Whitley for the first time in the nursery and all of the many times after that. I feel so blessed to have had so many wonderful opportunities to be in not only Whitley's short life but also in all of the family's life. I have nothing but admiration for you Kim and Jamie as you took each day and made the most of it. Everyone who had the opportunity to watch you in action has been truly blessed. You showed all of us what it means to love unconditionally. I know things haven't been easy but you were able to give Whitley the attention and love that she needed, while at the same time, giving Kennedy all of the opportunities that she needed to grow while be nutured and loved. It must be such a hard thing to let go, but being able to visualize her being in heaven with our Lord and Savior and smiling down on all of you must give you some comfort. Just remember all of those lives that Whitley touched in her short life and how she has helped and will continue to help so many people appreciate all of the blessings they have. I love you guys and you will remain in our prayers!!
