To My Cousin, family and friends,
Henry could always make me smile. No matter how long I stayed away, when our path crossed, he knew my voice and would call me by my nickname. Then to make sure I knew that he knew who he was talking to, he would say, "you're Kate Grissom baby sister." And that would surely make me smile. When God delivers you from the sadness, may you always remember to smile in remembrance of Henry's spirit.

Henry helped countless souls over the years while he was a dispatcher and when he wasn't working in dispatch, he was in a church singing or giving his testimony, leading lost sould to Jesus' loving arms. Now, he can see and I know his eyes are still on Jesus, and his voice is heard above the heavenly choir. Rest in peace my friend... I will never forget you!

Henry once told me that looking at people with our eyes is often misleading. He was right. Look at others with closed eyes and you will learn how to love God's people. He marked many lives, mine being one of them. Smiles and gentleness were his way of life.

I'm sure I will never meet anyone like Henry again in this life time. God used Henry to inspire and encourage others. Now He will be able to see Jesus for himself...He would always say sit me were I can see Rev. Johnson when he preach. I'm looking forward to seeing Henry Drake face to face one of these days in glory. May God bless the family as we keep them in prayer.
