I would like to send my deepest sympathies to Henrietta's family and friends. I Knew Henrietta when I also lived at Chancellor Place and enjoyed her company very much. She will be deeply missed.

I remember family holiday dinners at the ranch where the food and the company were special because of Aunt Henrietta's gift for hospitality. My visits with her at Chancellor Place were filled with laughter and memories of my mother,her niece-both women married and had children at about the same time. I will miss our time together.
