Not sure what to say?

My dear Pawpaw, Fourteen years have passed. That number is just unreal. We keep you alive through memory, especially Mawmaw. She loves you so very much. We spend a lot of time with her and there's hardly a conversation that passes without her sharing a story of you. Then we abruptly lost our sweet Jennifer in 2018. It was really hard on all of us. One small glimmer of hope was knowing that she was with you in the afterlife. She, too, loved you and missed you so much. I hope you're grooving...

Henry lived everyday to its fullest with a giant laugh in each sentence. Henry welcomed all with a hug and a shot of crown because he never met a stranger. The bowling alley will NEVER be the same and I'm sure neither will the parades, parties and Saints games Jackie & Henry were involved in. Jackie, I know your house is quiet but you and your family can smile with each thought of Henry because all memories of him were happy ones!

PawPaw I miss you and Love you so much. Every second of everyday I think about you and all the wonderful funny life lessons you tought me. I remember so much... and as much as I want you back cause it isnt the same anymore, I could never ask for you to suffer for my selfishness. So Im glad your at peace and that your soul is at rest. We are all doing fine and will be fine.. You took a piece of all of us when you passed. And we will take good care of MawMaw, not as great as you cause you were...

Ms. Jackie,

I am so sorry. Know that he is in a better place and that you have one more angel to look after you. May God watch over you and help you heal quickly. You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers.

Kevin

Lori,
I know that we were not really what you would call friends. But i want you to know how sorry I am for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

May the memories of a wonderful life with Henry bring you comfort, Jackie. My prayers are with you.

For Henry and Family; Jackie may you be granted peace and strenght through this trying time. Henry will surley be missed. Family much love and sympathy. May the angles carry Henry in peace and May the angles comfort you.

Some people count the days of their lives. Others make sure the days of their lives count. Henry definitely fell into that second group. Even from his hospital bed, he was still joking and optimistic about the Saints! He was always laughing and making sure that everyone around him was having a good time. Henry lived everyday to the fullest, a lesson that we should all take to heart as we remember him.
Love,

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
