Henry Dobrovits Obituary

To the Dobrovits,

I'm so truly inspired by your story and your limitless love.
It's beautiful how little Henry touched so many of us!
Thank you for sharing!
My deepest condolences for you all,
Megan Win

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family. The bond and the strength you have is so special. Wishing you peace and comfort in the days ahead. Your little shining light Henry will help you through it.

My deepest sympathy to your family. What a beautiful blessing Henry was to all who followed his life. I count myself among those touched by his brief time here on earth. You gave him love, it was captured in his eyes in the photos(I can't help but think of Henry looking at the smiling faces of all his brothers and sisters and parents everytime he opened his eyes in the morning and of the french fries and chicken vesuvio he enjoyed...the joys of life). God's comfort in your heartbreak. ~Noreen Signorelli

Thinking of you and praying God's peace with you during this difficult time. I'm so sorry for your loss. Love you!

Dearest Dobrovits family,

Our hearts break for your sadness. Your family was such an inspiration to our family, as you were truly representative of Christ's love, particularly to the very smallest of God's children. I often wear the bracelets you made before Baby Henry came home. They will hold even more meaning as your angel travels to his heavenly home. I pray for the comfort of your family. I hope you can feel some peace knowing that you provided such a gift of love and a great example to us all.

God bless you always.

With love,
Barry, Lisa, Ciara, Sophie and Declan Glancy

So sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you. Henry was a very lucky boy to have such a great family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Many prayers are going out for your son. Loss of a loved one is never easy especially for someone as young as Henry. I know your Family has been alot but don't let your hearts become weighed down. Now is a time to draw close to Family, friends, and God. -James 4:8.

There's one more angel in heaven and his name is Henry! Our thoughts, prayers and condolences to you and your family.

You are such a remarkable family!!! Continued prayers and hugs to all of you! God bless, Karrie

Our thoughts, prayers, and love surround you.Your angel will always be with you.

Love Debbie Higgins and family (RR family)

Safely Home

I am in home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh , so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! But Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must no grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth-
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When, that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Our deepest sympathy in the death of your dear son. Know you and your family are remembered in special prayer by the Sisters, teachers, students and staff members of Mount Assisi Academy

God Bless this little one and his family

God blessed you with this little boy for so short a time--if only it had been longer.

All of creation groans to be perfected as Henry has been.

His Father is holding him now. He is telling Henry that his family loves him so much, and that you all will be together again soon. For Henry it won't seem long.

But my heart goes out to those who loved him and go on without him... may God richly bless you in this life. May you one day know joy again. May good works in Henry's memory bring joy to him and His Father.

-Jessica Cooper (you don't know me)

I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby. I can not begin to imagine the heartache you feel. You do not know me but I have heard your story from friends and have been praying for you and your Henry for some time. I want to thank you for the incredible testament of love that you have given me. It is so rare to find people willing to allow their hearts to actually break to love so deeply. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and please be assured that strangers will continue to pray for you and hope to rejoice with you and Henry for all eternity.

May God fill you with His perfect peace and assurance that Henry is safe in His loving arms! Prayers lifted heavenward for you.

Dear Sweet Carla & family, Your sweet little boy touch my heart the first time I saw him and read your story. He had an amazing momma and family. My heart breaks for you. There are just no words when you loose a baby. Henry touched so many lives and so has your family. He was blessed to finally have the love of a family and a mommy and daddy to love and hold him. God used him in a mighty way in his short life. Rest in the arms of Jesus Carla. Blessings Cindy

Henry you had such an important impact on everyone around you. You will be forever missed. Praying for peace for your family and may all the angels surround you during this diffcult time

Dear Dobrovits Family,
We have never met, and you don't know who I am, but I am from RR and your blog was one of the first adoption blogs I ever read. The Psalms are my favorite place to go to find solace in grief. Perhaps they might be comforting to you as well.
You are in my (and my friends') prayers. St. Henry, pray for us.

To the Dobrovits Family, you are in our thoughts and prayers as you grieve the loss of little Henry. I am so glad to know that your beautiful boy spent the last 14 months in your arms, but I know that your empty arms are now breaking your heart. You are in our thoughts and prayers and will continue to be in the days ahead.

Dear Dobrovits Family, love and prayers to you all. I'm so happy that Henry had the opportunity to have a family that loved him so deeply! God bless you, you and Henry will be in my thoughts and prayers. Your RR friend, Natalie

Although I have never met you or your family, we share a special bond. We too are apart of the RR family. We are so sorry for Henry's passing and our prayers and thoughts are with you all in this difficult time.

Dear Dobrovits Family, you are all in our prayers. I feel honored to have met your precious Henry. He impacted so many lives in his short time on earth, and he continues to touch others. Praying the Lord comforts you all.

Henry has made such an impact on this world - the world has been blessed to have him for the short time that it did. Hundreds of people across the world have been changed by one little boy with his spunk, love, and fierce determination. We are all holding the Dobrovits family in our hearts during this time and hoping that you can find peace in the wonderful memories that you shared. Henry's story is a story of love, of sacrifice, of courage, and his legacy will live on forever. I am honored to have met him.

It was an honor to "know" Henry, thank you for sharing him with us. Praying that Jesus sends you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Though your time together with Henry was too short, you shared such a precious witness to love, devotion, faith and unfailing, unconditional love for each other and all of us you let in on your journey! As a family you gave all you could give. You showed Henry what it means to be loved; really loved. It's the Lord's turn now. We ache for you, we grieve with you and we believe that in time, God will also give you the strength you need to heal. All our love.

Sweet Henry, Auntie loves you more than you'll ever know. I'm sad I never got to see you in person, but I'm grateful to have been able to watch you grow in the love of your forever family.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Sending thoughts and prayers your way. So very sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby boy. With love

My prayers are with you and your family at this time. May your faith carry you through this most difficult time as you await to be reunified with your precious little boy again. Rest with Jesus sweet Henry, you have touched so many lives and will be carried in our hearts.

Praying for your whole family as you grieve. What an impact your little Henry has made on this world. He has blessed so many. Praying for your hearts, as you grieve, and try to heal.
