My Dearest Olga and All The Family,
If you can imagine that I, of all people, am speechless beyond words, you will know I am truly in disbelief. Unexpected is one thing, but Mr Henry was one lively man and into everything that needed doing at all times. I know it is fact, but the acceptance in my heart just won't work with this terrible loss. Almost everyday at Lacoste for big or little, he would be THE ONE! Mr Henry was invincible, going on, on, and on; doing everything, meeting at the casino for lunch, and not even to mention who got everything we could ever need at Lacoste quicker than you, or any of us, could ask for his help! The wonderful times at Christmas Eve parties with every kind of food and drink imaginable. The best one for me was when my Mom attended and cornered you forever with her fables of ill health. You were fabulous with her and she asked at least three times who was the good looking man dancing with you. I was sure my Kelley was going to take her home fast before she began flirting with Mr Henry.
Times past always seem to be the best. I believe the times of both the past and now hold special thoughts and memories. You and your beautiful family will have both - over and over many times, as will I always remember him. I would be there to hold you close to me if my health permitted. Since that cannot be, my heart, love, and prayers will be with you every step of the way. I dearly loved Mr Henry, one of a very few being nearest to perfect that God made. You have had a priceless treasure, and best of all - you knew it. Know he will be looking over your shoulder every minute til you are together again. Then...once more life will be perfect once more. Keep that wonderful. family close, as they will keep you to them.
I love you dear friend.
