Deputy Chief Edwards, Retired | 1:03 a.m. Nov. 4, 2009
This was a beautiful and fitting tribute to a hero. Thank you for the photos. I was especially moved by the water fog ceremony... I have been to many funerals for FF's over the years, but I have never seen this ceremony done - very moving.

My prayers are with the family and with the community. Chief Whitney was obviously loved and respected by many people.
