What a dear friend and down-to-earth Pal was my dear friend Henry! I think of him often, and of our frequent laughter, along with the hard work we shared together. Oh, how I miss his presence in my life, now at 83, even though he continues to live in my heart now and forever.

Our lives and how we live them paint a picture of who we are and so it was with Henry. Henry was a giving person always ready to help, encourage, uplift and laugh with others. He was and is a true friend. May GOD bless his memory and continue to bless and keep his wife Lynda.

Lynda: You and Henry have been two of my very favorite people to see at Piedmont Springs, and it breaks my heart that I'll no longer get to see Henry walking through that door. Keeping you in my thoughts and sending all my love your way.

Fwd: Lynda my daily prayers are with you in your journey of healing from your loss. The first time I met Henry, he was so nice and fiendly. He made me feel so comfortable to be in his company. His music of Jazz or R&B was always so soothing when you two would give me a ride home. I always wanted to know the artist. I like him the first time I met him. It was always a joy to hear you talk of him and your love of him. In the days that fellow - may the thoughts and love be so embedded in your heart, you smile.
