Heart goes out to your family. I still cannot believe this has happened. Whitney was such a good person. I loved to watch her and my daughter Jamie Tyson and the rest of the team play ball together. She was always ready to help other team mates that didn't know much about the support. My husband coached her when they played at Tom Conley. Such great memories. I am so sorry Doug and Shiela. I pray that God give you, your family and her friends the strength to deal with the hardest days that lies ahead. Young life gone way to soon. May Whitney forever RIP

Our condolences and prayers to the Jordan family. The love you shared to all of us will always be remembered. God speed sweet Whitney! Always #8.
Love,
Coach Chris, Amalia (Shelly), Ann & Bryant Sweeney

Prayers to Doug and Sheila and all of Whit's family. She was a sweet young woman whom I will always remember as giving her all on and off the softball field. She was a sincere friend to my daughter (Lizz DePozo Houston), and all that were blessed to know her. Rest peacefully sweet girl.
