What some of you didn't know before you watched the video is that Whitney left us in May 2007 at the age of 19. For those of you who knew Whitney, we are assured that she is not imagining anymore. She gets to walk by Jesus' side and dance for Him and sing Hallelujah to Him every day and I believe with all of my heart that she has that same look in her eyes, the look of passion and love for her Jesus. Whitney was, and still is, an amazing young lady. She always made the right decisions and she loved everyone she knew. She held no grudges and forgave anyone who did her wrong. I can only pray that I could have the strength and love that she possesed. She was like a little sister to me and I know without a doubt that I will be able to stand in awe of Jesus someday with Whitney right beside me. I won't have to imagine anymore either. If you're not sure that you won't have to imagine one day, or if you have any questions at all, please e-mail me at daniel.buckhannan@gmail.com and I would be honored to help you in any way possible.

That was so awesome!!!! I am a friend of Donna's, and I had never even met Whitney, but that girl has impacted my life in so many ways...it's just unexplainable! Thank you for putting this on here and sharing with everyone what a beautiful person she was!!! Stacy
This video leaves me speechless. It makes me smile and brings me tears of joy and sadness at the same time. I called Whitney my "adopted" granddaughter and treated as her as such. That is the kind of relationship we had. I often called her my angel. Today, she really is my angel. I talk to her everyday. Words just really cannot express how I felt about this very special young lady. If you knew her you loved her. I miss her so much!

Wow, what a beautiful video that shares the life of such a beautiful person. Whitney was my best friend. More like my sister. We were attached at the hip... ask anyone. Although I am saddened that she isn't here with me anymore, I am rejoicing and imagining what is before her right now... the Kingdom. Oh how I long for Heaven, now more than ever. I cannot tell you how much Whitney Laine Gallahar meant to me, for words are not enough. However, I can tell you that I am confident that one day she and I will yet again be attached at the hip... but this time. We will be singing praises to our precious Savior forever and ever.
what an awesome testimony; this is beautiful!
I am blessed enough to be called Whit's mom. I simply love watching this video. It was given to me on Whitney's 20th birthday, March 10. I look back now and so many things are so clear to me. Even at 13 Whit had a clear understanding of who she was in Christ. I praise Him daily for giving us such a precious gift.
Whitney, it won't be long, baby girl! Keep watching for us. I love you now more than ever!!!!

This video is beautiful and it really shows you how much faith and love for the love that Whitney had. You can just see in her eyes that she knew she would be there one day with God!! Unfortunatley that time was sooner than we all thought and for many of us like me I cannot wait to be there with Whitney again. I loved Whitney more than any other friend I have ever had. I feel like apart of me is gone and watching this video makes me feel so proud of her and it lets me get to watch her again as if she were here with me again. I dont think I will ever be the same. And I hope that for some people that watch this video that dont know the Lord will also never be the same because this video of beautiful Whitney will make them want to seek God! I love you Whitney and your legacy will always live on!!! I miss you so much!
Simply AMAZING!
WoW, now the song has even greater meaning to me than ever before! Whit was always and always will be special to me. Even though she now graces the grounds of heaven she LIVES ON! To Ricky and Donna I say "THANK YOU" for sharing such a wonderful young lady with so many people. Blake I pray as you excel in all that you do that you remember the way Whit did it - ALL OUT! God bless you all and "THANK YOU" for allowing me the humble privilege of conducting her HOME GOING. And now I can say - I CAN ONLY IMAGINE. Until we met again God Bless Whit as you have beaten me again - 1 filling Oak Bowery to capacity and finishing your race.

What an amazing testimony that after 10 months Whitney is still changin lives and making an impact. Whitney was our neice and I am so glad that I had the opportunity of knowing and loving her. I can close my eyes and see her dancing and praising God with her long blonde hair flowing and her contagoius smile. Thanks for sharing this vidoe with all of us who love and miss Whitney.
This is absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever seen. While it makes me so sad to wake up every day in Whitney's apartment without her here in flesh, it is so comforting to know that she IS here with me and our other roommates watching us and taking care of us (and I'm sure rolling her eyes because our apartment is NEVER clean haha :).) In May I thought that there was no way I could make it through this school year without her, and every day is definately a struggle. But I know that God and Whit help me every single second of every single day, and it is honestly the ONLY way I make it.
I LOVE AND MISS YOU WHIT!!! Please continue to take care of your family, friends, and everyone else you left behind!

This is a fitting tribute to a true sweet spirit. Thank you for sharing it. I pray that everyone watching this video can see the peace and love that can only come from real worship with God. Whitney was a precious soul that I was privileged to know most of her life, for that I am thankful. To the Gallahar and Reaves families, I Love You.---Shana
