Hard to believe 10 years have passed. Not many days go by without thinking of my friend. These memories almost always leave me with a smile. He was one of the funniest people I have ever known and could send you into hysterics with a look or a few words. He wouldn´t stop until you begged him or hyperventilated. Haha
Caroline, Avery and Olivia- he was so proud of you ladies. As strong and brave as he was during his last days- the one thing that troubled him was the thought of not being there to see each of you go through the stages of life. He knew you all were going to shine.
I love and miss you henny henny coco!

My Henry: It is almost beyond belief that a year has nearly gone by since you left this earth. I did not think I would survive your death myself. I miss you everyday but I'm also so grateful that your pain is gone - we talked about how quality of life is everything and now yours has immeasurable beauty. I love you still and always will.

I tried to add a message here before but for some reason it has never shown up--maybe you kept it to yourself :). I love you so so much and miss you terribly. My love is yours always.

Faith, Love, and strength go to the Coleman family in this time of leaning of friends and family. I, along with many others here, went to high School with Henry at Westside. He was very well liked, then as he was in his adult life. He is a much better place, now, no longer suffering. May the Lord hold Henry and his family in the palm of his hand.
