Betty, Cindy, Mike, & Chris:
Henry was a wonderful man. I have enjoyed knowing him the past 14 years. I am sorry I was unable to visit again prior to his passing. I saw Mark Miller on Thursday and we made plans to visit on Friday, but Woody told me of his passing.
Henry was ornery and I hope he has had the chance to meet my Daddy. They will get along very well, play some horseshoes, do some fishing, and my father will tell him about when he worked at Norbalt in 1950 doing the same job as Henry.
Yes, we will all miss him, but Henry is no longer in pain. He will watch over all of us here on Earth.
I will continue to keep each of you in my prayers.
Betty, I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that Henry is no longer suffering.
