Not sure what to say?

Just now saw this. Jerry was the "non-red-head" of the Henry kids, a couple years older than I was--Richie and I were class mates. It sounds like Jerry brought his promise of greatness to fruition. I'll bet his mom was glad to see him, though.

Hello, My name is Jill. I grew up with the Henrys a Great part of my life. Andrea was my best friend. Im sad to hear he has passed but comforted to know Andrea has her dad with her now. To sister Myrna Henry and all the Henry children, I remember all of you and have loved you for almost 40 years. Bro Henry was always a great part of my life and taught me that kindness should always be given.

Jerry was a very kind man. I enjoyed the time he spent in my classroom helping out. He would have made a very gentle, kind teacher had this been the profession he followed. I would have been to his service had it not been that we were out of town.

I was also sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I remember him as a teenager in our Yuba City LDS Ward. The Henry family was always a family to be looked up too. His Father John was a good friend of mine. I also have fond memories of his Mother, Naomi. The Myers family sends their love and sympathy. I lost my twin sister, Janice Cobia a year ago. I have a idea how you are feeling. I also am very grateful for the Plan of Happiness and know that we will be with our loved ones again.
Love, Jan...

I am Annette (Atkinson) Harris. Jerry Henry and I were among the many of the LDS Church who attended Seminary when his mother, Naomi, taught at the church. I have many wonderful memories of the Henry family. The Henry boys were always setting a good example of how to live a kind life. Jerry and I are only a few months apart in age. I sorrow to hear this news. How grateful we are for the amazing Plan of Happiness, knowing he is with his parents and loved ones eternally ! God bless you...

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Jerry well from high school, as I Richard and I were in the same class. Always such a sweet guy. My sympathies are extended to your entire family.
