Here it is, its been a year now that you are gone. It seems like yesterday that I held your hand as you passed into God's arms. My love, you are missed terribly and you will always hold a special place in my heart.

Your wife,
Eleanor

I hope you know how much I loved you. I wasn't the type of person to say it very often. You don't know how much I have been thinking about that lately. You just assume that the people you love know that you love them. When they're gone, you wonder if they really knew, because you never said the words. I'll be sure to say them often now. I love you, and I miss you very much, our Davy's Angel. Love, Stephanie

Eleanor,
Thinking of you all week. Remembering meeting Henry, when you opened your home to us for the class reunion...so many years ago. Certainly a more enjoyable time. I have no words to ease your grief. I can only offer our continued thoughts and prayers, for all of you. Hang in there and please stay in touch. God Bless.

Eleanor:
I will never forget waiting so long to meet Henry. Each time you came to camp, he was susposed to come along and 'had to work'. We began to ask you if there really was a Henry. Well, we finally met him and realized why you loved him so much.
Fondly,

I met henry at "post game pub" in oak forest, and I 've known him for the past 5 years. He was a really great guy and i'm glad I knew him. He was one of those guys who you were glad to see walk in, always seeming to wear a mickey mouse shirt.he's going to be missed by alot of people from the pub. he was a well liked person at post game.

Manda, Steph & Mrs. Heitz,
Words cannot describe how very sorry I am about Henry. After 9&1/2 yrs of seeing him almost everyday at work it will not be the same. I will miss his good Morning's & I will miss teasing him with the Pot luck sign up sheet that always had Trifle permanently on it. You guys are like family to me. Girls I will always be here for you no matter what the future holds.
Love you guys
Kell

My heart goes out to Eleanor, my dear friend of over 10 years, and her daughter, Steph, whom I met several years ago, and Amanda, even though I have not met you personally. Also, I offer my sympathy and well-wishes to Lynn and Brandy, who I also count as my friends since knowing you almost as long as I've known Eleanor. I hope you can all make it through this time with some comfort knowing that Henry was in severe discomfort and needed to leave his failing body behind; although, I'm sure he left you reluctantly. My hugs to you all.
