Hank, Carol, Tommy and Ann.
So sorry to hear Uncle Henry passed away. He went through so much these past few years, but we know he's now at peace with his beloved wife Annette, sisters and brothers. I'll always remember his 90th Birthday and his love of the Boston Red Sox's. Most of all I'll remember my phone conversations with him over the years and how he ended his phone conversations with me, when I'd tell him "I love you Uncle Henry", "I love you Dorothy."
God's Peace & Comfort to you.
Hugs and love from Florida.
