How often do we take the time to thank our teachers for the influence that they have made in our lives? Several years ago I contacted Mrs. Henry & visited with her over the Christmas holidays. Over coffee & cookies I thanked her for her guidance & direction as an young adult in high school. Our troubled world needs more people like her. May she rest in peace and be rewarded by our good Lord for a life well lived!

What can you say, Mrs. Henry was the best teacher and one of the best people you could have ever met. I remember her favorite saying was "bull cookies". She was the best. Another angel for heaven.

Sending my sincere condolences on the loss of your mother and grandmother.
She was more than a teacher at JTHS, but a true mentor, and will always remain in my memory and heart.
May she now be joined with her loving husband(Tom) and all those who have gone before, and rejoice with Jesus in our Heavenly Kingdom.
