Whitney, you were a precious gift from God above, so much beauty, compassion and love. You touched countless hearts; as a wife, mother, friend,daughter, sister and as a nurse in so many ways, your unending smile always brightening our days. You protected and loved your brother Austin from beginning to end, family came first, before any friend. On August 16th 2008, your prayers were answered taking Tony as your lifelong mate. Your love for each other was one to behold, never faltering, as priceless as gold. You planned your perfect family and thought it all through, then Henry came to make it three, not just two. You never thought anyone could love someone so much, but Henry taught you love could be such. You enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, boating and camping. You especially enjoyed doing these things with Tony and family.But God chose to call you home, you didn't want to go and leave your family alone. You loved us so much, you held on tight, till you could no longer possibly fight. So you gave your hand to God and drifted away,knowing that with our love we will be together again some day.
