Missing you especially today, Whitney. I still find myself reading through our work chat in disbelief. I remain so grateful to have been your teammate, and your positive influence continues to be ever helpful for me.
So sorry to hear about the passing of Whitney Neal-Jonske. May she rest in peace as she has gone to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I was fortunate to have her as my cousin. When my family and I would visit my Aunt Sumi for family reunions we played Shanghi a card game until 2:00 in the morning. She was full of life like no other reminding people to take the time to smell the roses as life was precious to her. Thank you for your life here on earth!
Whitney was truly one of the most thoughtful, friendly, and positive people I've ever met. It was impossible not to feel better after spending time with her. I so enjoyed becoming friends after she and Dirk moved to NYC; our long brunch conversations were such a treat. And while she officially become family in 2018, she had felt like family for a long time before then. I doubt I'll ever meet another person as kind and genuine as Whitney, and it seems impossible to believe that she's gone. I'm so sorry, Dirk.
Just a few weeks ago, Whitney shared with me that "My natural state is bubbling joy". Her statement had such an impact on me when she shared it and I will always remember her as bubbling joy.
She had such a strong impression on everyone around her for her positivity, kindness and spirit. Her legacy of caring for others lives on. We miss you Whitney! You are so loved!
