The cemetery authorities confirmed that Whitney's bench will remain exactly where it belongs. This has been a long and draining fight but knowing her space is safe brings me more relief than I can explain. Thank you for staying with me through this.

The reason I had to start this petition is because My Mum & ourStepdadlost there Daughter...I lost my Sister, My children lost there Auntie & Godmother as did my otherSister and My Nephews, that is without mentioning other family members &an untold amount of friends, Whitney honestly was a huge member of our community, full on Love, Life & Truly Unique!!! I couldn't begin to tell you about Whitney Woo as I'm not allowed that many words but I hope you have got a hint?!

What I haven'ttold you is that Whitney Burnham (Woo-Woo to myself& other family members)was 18 years old & Died on Christmas Day2011 never openingher presents under the Christmas Tree...My Mother was to find her that morning & herStepfather tried painstaking to keep her alive until he could then beaided by ambulance crewsbut unfortunately to no avail. :-(

OUR EARTH BOUND ANGEL HAD GONE HOME!!!

We have been traumatised by the loss and will forever... so this iswhy we need asmany supporters as possible to help Save & Keep Whitney's Bench which was created & funded byour community and many of Whitney's younger friends as well as others...Please carry on reading below....

This petition is to get as many supporters as possible to sign up so it can try to aid Save/Keep Whitney's Special Community Bench at Whitney's Beautiful & Special Place in Teddington Cemetery!!! Due to an unfortunate mix up in communication there are problems which could seriously see the removal of Whitney Woo's Community Bench?!

PLEASE PASS ON TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT THIS PETITON & ALSO WHO KNEW WHITNEY & NOW HAVE ONLY THE PLEASURE OF SHARING TIME & REMEMBERING SPECIAL MEMORIES WITH WHITNEY BY SITTING ON HER COMMUNITY BENCH. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT!!!... I WILL UPDATE WHEN & IF NEEDED!?!

MANY THANKS TONI

The fight to keep the bench feels exhausting today but I refuse to stop. We are nearing one hundred signatures and reaching that mark might finally get them to listen to us. Please put this link in front of anyone you know who cares about keeping Whitney's place intact.

Whitney was one of my favourite students a kind & caring girl. Her young friends find comfort when they sit and reflect on her bench. She was a mentor to a lot of young people. Please do not remove it.
