Henny was such an encouragement to all of us fledging researchers. I loved her opening line how can I help you....which became her montra.

She encouraged me to speak at the Galli once a year dinner allowing me to brag on my doctor who was one of the early settlers of Gallipolis.

Prayers for your family to find peace during his time. Henny touched many lives.

Henny was the person who strengthened our family ties back to SE Ohio. Twenty years ago she provided the gift of a family tree with deep roots to the area, and years later, we drove home to finally meet Henny and visit places my ancestors walked. Thank you, Henny, for making a positive difference in this world. Rest In Peace.

So sorry to hear about Henny. She made me feel so welcome when I joined the church after moving from Oklahoma. I will miss her.

Henny was the inspiration for the creation of the Cherrington Family Facebook page. Although we met only at the reunion in 2008, we became great 'distance' friends, and I will miss her.
