I used to visit Henry a couple times a week with my little dog, Shadow. He loved seeing her & I also brought a friend & her dog once a week to visit. I'm Deaf too & we would sign through the window outside his room when Covid hit. I've missed visiting him since it got too cold to visit outside & will miss him very much. Henry had a wonderful sense of humor & I loved his stories. He lit up when he'd see the dogs come in & he'd laugh through all the kisses. He was a wonderful man who's smile would light up the room. RIP Henry, Shadow & I will miss you so much. xoxo
