Henry,
I guess we can't ask why things happen the way that did. Only the lord knew what was best. But one thing I do know there was no one like you! You were a wonderful friend, a great listener, and could always give great advice. You will truely be miss. Just keep on smiling down on us, and keep on guiding us on the right path. Just the like your favorite song by Boyz II Men, We have come to the end of the road, I can't that this is the end of the road, But we will see or meet at the cross road someday!!
