Henry will be missed by everyone who knew him and loved him. Henry was much too young to died so soon.

My family and myself have so many great and loving memories of Henry,thats why its so hard to believe that he's gone.Smoking has killed far too many good people already. If you smoke please stop for yourself,your family and all the good friends you leave behind.

Love, Susan
