Dear Frank, Diane, Cassie,

Just a note of loving thoughts and the feeling of one of Jared's everlasting hugs are being sent your way. Each visit with him during his growing years was filled with joy and laughter. He always was happy to share what he was passionate about, mostly his family and friends. Each visit began with a hug and him saying how special each of us were to him. He seem to be able to have a special gift of reaching out and touching a special place in our hearts to help us shine. Frank, Diane and Cassie your love and caring for Jared during his lifetime is reflected in the memories he has left with so many. Thank you for sharing your Jared.

First to Jared's family. Im sorry about the lost. I still cant believe it. Its been 2 weeks today. I'm always going to miss him. I loved haning out with the group of friends we made. It may never be the same. But for some reason I think Jared is always there for me...well for everyone. I talk to him everyday. I hope he's listening. He was like seriosuly the best friend anyone could ask for. Always making us smile. I miss him like crazy and will still miss him. Work isnt the same. Hanging out with the orginal 4 doesnt happen but i guess now it would be 3 but it doesnt happen. Jared I just have to say I love you and miss you like crazy i cant wait to see you again one day! <3

Dear Frankie, Diane, and Cassie:
Our deepest sympathy to you. May you find peace and strength each day; that only comes through our Lord. Sometimes life brings the unexpected that has no answer when our finite mind asks "why". We can only hold tight to the answers we have been given.....
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Proverbs 3:5
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are highter than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9
Keeping you in prayer.

Henry Family,

Jared was an inspiration to all of us. I can not imagine not seeing him around the hall's at Central. I did not come to the viewing or the burial, and I am deeply sorry for that. Both of mt parents died last year, and i couldnt build up the nerve to actually go to another funeral home. Jared touched everyone differently at school, and that was the amazing thing about him. I loved him dearly. My condolences go out to your whole family.

Sincerely,

Jordan Hawse

Frank, Diane and Cassie,
If you say the name Jared Henry to us, we remember a feisty redhead with a smile from ear to ear. He was such a positive and wonderful part of our son, Dennis' life. Dennis always had funny stories to share about Jared and their Boy Scout and St. Luke experiences.
Our family only knew Jared in his early youth... and we can only imagine the wonderful young man he grew to be.
~Our thoughts and prayers don't feel like quite enough, but know that we send them to you along with our deepest condolences.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To Jared's Family, Frank, Diane & Cassie, Great-Grandma Mary, Grandma Dorothy, Josie, The Sargent and Scheffner Families, I can't tell you how greatful we are that you shared your wonderful Jared with us his "California" family. We looked so forward to those visits. Frank it makes me smile when I think of Jared with his snowboard ready to challenge those California Mountain slopes, he was fearless, happy and so loving. He built a special bond with Joseph and Amanda, he was always quick with a joke and a smile. He was truly a gift from God.
Our hearts go out to you. You are in our paryers. May your memories provide you with comfort we love you, cousins Linda & Craig Hunter, Jan Inger, Joey, Stacy and special buds, Joseph & Amanda Reynolds

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. My daughter will miss a fellow senior and good friend, Jared was loved by many.

Joe Laughlin

January 30, 2009

I worked with Jared for almost two years, and helped train him when he first started. We often worked shifts together, and only survived anywhere from three to eight hours at McDonald's by joking around. He was one of the best employees to work with because he was not only hard working and willing to do more than his share of the work, but also because he was fun to be around. When I left for college he was one of the employees that I really missed, and I was glad I was able to see him again during Christmas break. Jared, I forgive you for being a Ravens fan and if we meet again I'll be sure to rub this super bowl in your face as I'm sure you would have done the same for me had, by some miracle, the Ravens managed to beat the Steelers.
Flipping burgers will never be the same. Rest in peace.

Frank, Diane and Cassie,

My heart pours out to you. Jared was such a great kid, so friendly and warm hearted. I remember when he came to San Antonio/San Marcos to visit his uncle Ron who he adores and his cousin Sasha, my sister. He was so friendly and very funny. We had a few good laughs while he was here. It was so much fun. I wish we all could have hung out again one last time. I also want to thank Jared for not only being an awesome cousin but also a best friend to my little sister. You were like brother to her. You were so great that God had to have you with him. Rest in peace hon, you will be greatly missed by so many.

Sasha Henry

January 30, 2009
