Henrietta had a presence that could not be ignored and was a lady possessing great determination and a boundless energy to express her opinions on what she so strongly believed in - even moreso - for what she knew to be true with every fiber of her being. Her faith and trust in the Lord was expressed in all areas of her life and she was never embarrassed to do so. At times, this attribute was so strong it could simultaneously be annoying yet inspirational if one was at a low point in despair. Such faith is something many of us may strive for yet fall short of. There is no question Henrietta was loved by most who knew her, puzzled by many who found it hard to understand her, but most importantly, I believe, Henry was respected for speaking from her heart, sharing her feelings straight up, and not tiptoeing around when straight talk and/or tough love was needed, if not the easiest way to go. Henrietta's death has made me think of so many things she said - so many words of faith she shared. If she ever wondered did she have any impact - well, yes, she did. Henry did her best, she shared her best, and as she leaves her life here on earth as we know it, she can do so in peace knowing she has done her job and done it well. To all of her children, Julie and Matt who are the two I know the best, I say God Bless You and have peace in your hearts.
Respectfully, Patricia H. Fabricius
