To the Hensley Family,

I'm a friend and co-worker of Sharon's, and when Sharon and I went through training in Dayton we stayed with her parents. What wonderful people Mr. & Mrs. Hensley were.
The time I spent with them they made me feel like family.
Sharon has shared with me the kind and caring things that her father has done for his family, friends, and strangers. Judge Hensley, it was an Honor to have known you, and many will miss you. May God reward your Kind and loving soul. Rest in peace with our Lord and know that you were loved. My prayers are with the Hensley family, God's Blessings be with you all.

Respectfully,

Earth hath no pain that Heaven can NOT heal...May God give your family peace through this very difficult time. My life was touched because the Judge was in it. He lived life to the fullest. If we only accomplish a piece of what the Judge did, we will have a very productive, successful life. He is resting in the arms of the Lord now. No pain! Only happiness and peace. What an extraordinary example to all! I loved him dearly and will never forget what he taught me! Dedication to God and family first! Everything else has to find its place. I will miss him deeply.
