Family Henry is in the arms of our Savior.He has walked,the last mile. Snookie,was one of the neighborhood buddies.During the days we had strong friendships in our community. We were ONE. We played faired, We laught not at each other but laught with each other. We made up after anger but never hurt each with bad words we were true friends as children playing on Heidt Street backyards Candyman,Footney Jacob Ross,James Brown,Ritter Boys,Lindsey,Bobby, lived on the side of the store,Alphonso, their was so many of us in the neighorhood. Snookie,was a late bloomer and when he did he was great from what I've read. We walked different paths but I feel he will always be apart of my Childhood friendship. I feel sometimes we shared more than others which was genuine. We had nothing but the true meaning "Friendship"

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

What a pleasure to have known Hank. I am so sorry for all our loss, yours as a family and mine personally as a business associate. I am sorry that I can not be there to attend remembrance services as am attending to family needs out of town. Hank was truly a man of honor and distinction and all of us at Asset Realty were blessed to have know him. He truly lived up to our corp creed, "To whom much is given, much is required" and he gave to his work, his community and his family and we will all miss him until we meet again.

I am in prayer for you during the loss of your Loved One. For my prayer, I am using Psalms 55:22, which says “Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.” May God Continue to bless you!

Cousins Veronica,Tameika,& Terron,
When my mom told me that Snookie had passed away, the first things I thought about were the beautiful pictures he got of Gil and I at our wedding last year, how supportive he was in all our lives and how passionate he was about keeping our family connected. He will live on forever in our hearts and will truly be missed.
God Bless and Love you all

I stopped by his room to say hello to him and the family like I usually do, only to hear the devastating news. I am so sorry to hear of your lost.

I pray that God continues to keep his arm around you and cover you with his love, faith and understanding.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

September 10, 2010
May God be with you now
As you face this time of grief
May you know the comfort of the Lord
In your darkest hour of need
Know that Jesus cares for you
When your soul is deeply pained
No matter what you may go through
His love for you remains.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Jacqueline B. Woods
