WHITTENBERG Jo Ann, Oklahoma City, Ok. A heart of gold stopped beating, two shiny eyes at rest. God broke our heart to prove He only takes the best. God knows you had to leave us, but you did not go alone. For a part of us went with you, the day He took you home. To some you are forgotten, to others, just a part of the past. But to us who loved and lost you, your memory will always last. Today we paused in respect and bowed in humble submission to the will of our Heavenly Father Who has claimed one of His own, my beautiful daughter.
