I want to offer my condolences to the family of this special lady who was my 3rd grade teacher at Paul Lawrence Dunbar Elementary. Through the years when I remembered my elementary years being a student of Mrs. Henderson always brought a smile to my face. She was the sweetest and always made me feel special. One fond memory is when she invited our class to her home for picnic. We had so much fun that day! May the beautiful memories carry you through this time and going forth. Rest in heaven Mrs. Henderson and thank you for touching my life and so many others.

I would like to send my thoughts, love and prayers to my entire Henderson and Coleman family, and may God comfort you in this time of need and bring you peace that surpasses all understanding.

Dear Marquita, Kay and bereaved family,
My heart is heavy with sadness. When I learned of Mrs. Henderson's passing it literally broke my heart. She was an amazing woman with a sweet spirit and a giving heart. Growing up in Israel CME was made extra special with Mr. & Mrs. Henderson in my corner. They supported me through many of lifes challenges and were always there to inject their wisdom and assistance.
Mrs. Henderson lived a full life and I know she is now resting with God and Mr. Henderson. She was a true educator who cared deeply for her students. She instilled in us at an early age the importance of reading and understanding what was read.
Her friendship with my aunt Blanche Cooper made our relationship what it was. From an early age she helped to guide us and educate us to be all that we could. Nothing was impossible. She will be truly missed.
Love You and God Bless You All.
