I was a member of Reverend Hensley's First Baptist Church in Stoneham, Mass. He was a gentle and wonderful man and minister. He officiated at our service on our wedding day. I lost my husband Arthur at the age of 67 last year to cancer and know how hard it is to lose loved ones. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this sad time.

Oh, the wonderful memories our family has of Rev. Hensley. How do you capture his warm, loving deeds in one small space - his sense of humor, his loving acceptance, his resonant voice, his unlimited vocabulary and moving prayers. He meant so much to our family. Our hearts go out to you all at this difficult time. Love, the Velten Family
