Henry F. Arva

It will be six years since we said our good-byes to my Daddy. It seems like yesterday in a lot of ways. I re-read what I posted shortly after Daddy's passing and I still hold those same strong feelings of my Father. He was the best Father a daughter could have. His legacy continues to live on through me. I feel his guidance and gentle nudging often; especially when I need it. I often talk with him daily, sometimes just to chat, other times to hear what would he do about a situation. It...

Dear Aunt Belle, Frank, John, Beth and David......I was so sorry to hear of Uncle Henry's passing. As a child I was closer to him than any of my other Uncles, I have so many memories! He was so calm and easy going and I don't remember ever seeing him angry. Such a good Christian man with others and in raising his family......your lives reflect this. To this day some things that he said has always stayed with me. I am proud that I had him as a part of my life, and all of you as well. Reading...

Dear Frank & Deb- Although not in attendance @ Dad's Service today, please know that I was watching the clock & holding you in prayer. I pictured the entire family together and many many many wonderful people surrounding you w/ love. So glad you had such a wonderful Dad Frank and I'm glad you had him for so long in life! It seems he was well blessed w/ a wonderful family and loved by many...lucky you!

I will miss you Dad but will always remember the legacy that you have left behind. Will done good and faithful servant.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Belle:

I commend Hank for being a Godly Chrisitan gentleman and loving Jesus and his neighbor with his whole heart,mind and soul! Your marriage also honored God! May the love of Jesus bring you great peace in this difficult time.

I will never forget the day I was so warmly and lovingly invited into the Arva household during my orientation as a new Hospice Chaplain for Celtic Healthcare. What a wonderful Christian couple. Belle, you were a great caregiver. Hank didn't have a lot to say, but when he did it was either about family, about God, or a joke about Belle. Needless to say, his example added to my experience of the embodiment of Jesus Christ.
Belle and Family may God continue to bless you and guide you on...

Frank - So sorry for your loss. He was a good man. I know you and your family will miss him.
