FAMILY, THIS IS A GREAT SORROW FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. UNCLE TOMMY WILL BE MISSED. MY CHILDREN STILL REMEMBER OUR VISIT TO CALI TO SEE HIM. MOMS DEATH IS STILL SO FRESH IN MY HEART AS WELL AS CHARLES. THANK GOD THAT WE HAVE A FIRM FOUNDATION IN JESUS AND WE KNOW THAT THIS TOO WILL PASS. I PRAY THE PEACE AND JOY OF THE LORD OVER THE ENTIRE HENRY FAMILY. WE KNOW THAT HE IS FREE FROM PAIN AND IS TOTALLY HEALED AND ENJOYING BEING WITH THE REST OF THE FAMILY, FOR TO BE ABSENT IN THE BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD. WE ALL KNOW HOW TO PRAY AND TOUCH THE HEART OF GOD. LETS PRAY FOR THIS CYCLE OF DEATH TO BE BROKEN OFF OF OUR FAMILY AND OUR BLOODLINE. THE HENRY FAMILY SHALL LIVE AND NOT DIE! WE SHALL CHOOSE LIFE! IF WE WANT TO SEE THEM AGAIN WE MUST ALSO CHOOSE JESUS. I LOVE ALL OF YOU AND AM PRAYING FOR YOU.
CLARISSA, (PEARL'S BABY GIRL)

To Our Family,

I am sad to hear of Uncle Tommy's passing. I am thankful for the legacy of faith in our family that leads me to know that his suffering is over now, that he had time to make peace with His Maker and that God will strengthen all who turn to Him for comfort at such a time as this. I am thankful for all those who will be able to be present. My heart is with you though I won't be able to be there in person.

I love you and thank God for each one of you.
