Many years ago, I lost touch with Henrietta. We'd been friends through Dare to Love. I treasured my friendship with her and just found this obituary. I would be very interested in reaching Suzette, if you can get in touch with me.

To Henrietta's dear family, I posted the following on my FB as something of a remembrance. Please accept my deepest sympathies on her passing. She made an impression on a young, aspiring girl and I am lucky to have known her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, I learned of the passing of my first real world job boss, Henrietta Hopper. She was my boss but she was also my friend. And we had some fun and some adventure and that's something, because she was my mother's age. Like the time she rented outfits for a dress western day and we came to work dressed like saloon girls. And it happened to be the day I met the General Manager for the first time. We would later (much later) laugh at the look on my face when I learned who he was! OMG! Henrietta, years later, traveled with me on a bus to Mexico. We said she was my chaperon since my then boyfriend was also on the trip. She enjoyed meeting my family and loved the places we visited and had lots of fun. She was the kind of lady that really had a youthful soul. I am sorry to see her go but happy in the thought that she having a dance with her late husband Bernie and probably up to a little mischief too. I will miss her. Thank you LA for remembering her and me.
