In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Our deepest sympathy to you and all your family, Sandi. Henry was a wonderful person and we are thinking of you and wishing you peace and comfort at this sad time.

It was sad to hear of Henry's illness. My sympahies go out to the family.

Henry was a true gentleman and the best father in-law that I could have asked for. Very intelligent and quick witted. My sympathies go out to Sandra, Alison and Leslie. I know Henry is now enjoying a beer and rooting for the Michigan State Spartans and every time I crack a beer or see the Spartans playing I will remember Henry with love.

He was my friend. We had many many Discussions and we often disagreed, but he was my friend. Good poker parties.

Sandi and Family, it's over! It is a blessed passing, and I know how you feel. Chuck has been gone for two years the 10th of July, and I still miss him so much. I am so glad to have met you and Henry, thanks to EOC. The whole adventure was sad, happy, very educational and the wonderful people in the same place help each other to keep their heads above water. God will watch over him now! Much love and sympathy to you. Helen Frazier, Aurora, Co.

Henry was a great friend when I was growing up. I remember running around his house with his daughter Alison. Enjoying the hot tub and eating all of their corn pops. My prayers are with the family. Stacy George

Henry Engen was our friend for 55 years. As we mature we grow to realize that true friendship, next to the love of our immediate family, is the most precious possesion we can have in this world.

We loved Henry! We loved him for all the wonderful qualities he exhibited and shared with us through the last half century. I worked side by side with him and he was the consumate professional- talented, honest with his employers, forthright with the public in a field that was not always...
