To our dear Henley family..how we remember Christmas Eves, and the Father's Day marches sung with "daaa, da da da daaa daah" to Pomp and Circumstance. Aunt Adelaide(and Uncle Ben) were dearly loved by Robert, Glenn, Regina and me. Sweet memories of the visits to Primrose Road. She will always be in our hearts. A life well lived. Cherish the memories. We always will.
