Personal Background

 

Whitney This memorial website was created by Toni Chapman in loving memory of Whitney Bland.

Whitney was born on 11.12.1993 and sadly passed away on 05.27.2007 at the age of 13.

Whitney is missed greatly by family and friends and will be remembered forever.

 

 

Whitney is greatly missed by family and friends and will be remembered forever. She was the nicest and most generous person you would ever meet.  She always worried about everyones feelings. Whitney is the best daughter that any mother or father would love to have.  She was my jokester.  She was always the life of the party.

Whitney enjoyed being with her friends, riding 4 wheelers, softball and always wanted to play Volley Ball for Sam Houston. She always looked up to her cousin Savanna. She wanted to be just like her. A great athelete. 

One of Whitney's dear friend wrote this about the day of a accident of a very bad day for all of us. 

 

TO WHITNEY:

ever since we got that camp in toledo bend, me and you have been really good friends.. riding fourwheelers, fishing, tubing, sea dews.

when i was packing my bag for toledo i didnt know what i was really packing for.

when i was on the dock, kyle came and said that you had been in a wreck.. he acted as if it were no big deal, everyone thought everything was going to be fine... aunt kim said that you maybe broke one or both legs... and mabye your rib.. but you were going to be fine. all she said that was they couldnt get the rhino off of you but then they got it off..

when we found out that the paramedics were there and you kept yelling when they poked your side was when i got scared

all us kids werent aloud to ride our fourwheelers to see you bc they said that we would be in the way...otherwise i would have been there in a sec,
so we just waited for the phone calls

the first panic was savanna... she came crying saying that you were bleeding internally bc your rib punctured your liver.we all prayed together hoping you were in good hands... soon they flew you to shreveport and kept giving you blood.

the next phone call was that you werent doing so good and they had givin you 79 pints of blood, when there is only nine in your body, so that means they were putting it in she same speed it was coming out...we all got scared and prayed

then we got the cal that you only had 10% chance to live, the family was in shock. we didnt know what to do.

soon, your grandparents left for shreveport.
our next call was that they got there when the priest was in your room for your last words or something like that. and you wouldnt make it throught the night... i didnt want to believe it, i mean andrew made it very far and i thought you would pull through

10 minutes later we got the call that you didnt make it.
i was shaking i was so scared, i didnt know what to do at that point. everyone was scared and prayed for hours. it was like a dream, i wanted to wake up and run next door and say omgosh whitney i had the wierdest dream, but i couldnt.. you werent there..

i love you so much whitney and i cannot wait to see you in heaven.
RIP WITT

 

Whitney lost her liver, spleen, and kidney due to a ATV accident. That day was the longest day of my life.  I did get to talk to her at the accident.  She was able to talk and I did get a chance to kiss her and tell her I love her.  I know alot of parents don't get that chance and I am sorry for that. If I would have known that Whitney was not going to make it I would have said alot more to her. I wonder everyday what she is thinking, doing and What I could have done to save her. I would have done anything to trade places with her. I miss her so much.

 

Whitney loved going to Toledo Bend staying with her PawPaw and Mawmaw.  Every summer she would go and ride 4 wheelers, ride wave runners and swim and do all the things kids do in the summer. May 27th 2007 our lives changed.  It was the worst nightmare a mother or father can have. Our family has been devistated over this accident.  You never expect something like this to happen to your family.  God has a plan and for Whitney,  his plan was for her to leave this material world and go to eternal life to take care and love the children in heaven like she loved her brothers. She was the best sister any child could ask for. 

 

 

 

 

Whitney I miss you more that you will ever know.  Your my daughter and my best friend. I am lost without you. I go shopping and I still look for stuff to buy you cause it is just so hard for me to believe that you are not coming home.  I can not wait for the day we meet you in heaven cause I am going to hold you and never let you go. Pinky Promise. I love you baby girl!

 

Letter To Mom"

 

Mom, please dont fell guilty
It was just my time to go
I see you are still feeling sad,
And the tears just seem to flow

We all come to earth for our lifetime,

And for some it's not many years

i don't want you to keep crying
You are shedding so many tears.

 

I haven't really left you
Even though it may seem so.
I have just gone to my heavenly home,
And I'm closer to you than you know.

 

Just believe that when you say my name
I'm standing next to you.
I know you long to see me,
But there's nothing I can do.

 

But I'll send you messages
And hope you understand,
That when it's your time to "cross over",
I'll be there to take your hand.

 

 

 

In Loving Memory

 

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories build a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven,
and bring you home again.

 

No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before i knew it,
and only God knows why.

 

My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meantto love you-
No one can ever know.

 

But now i know you want me
to mourn for you no more:
To remember all the happy times,
life still had much in store.

 

Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today-
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.
