My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Henry's family and friends. With his wonderful wit, wisdom and the love he showed his family, he taught by example. I will miss him, dearly and I know there is a great reunion between Henry and the love of his life, and we should be celebrating with them. He had a great life, and showed it with his smile. Love to all of you.
