Dear Eleanor: We are sorry to hear of your husband's passing and offer our sincere condolences. We fondly remember the times we spent with you, especially the evening we waited for the night blooming cerious (no idea how to spell it). We think of you often.

Although it has been many years since we were young and living in Riverside, we remember with great fondness those wonderful times we were fortunate in sharing with Hank and Eleanor and Fran and Michael Higgins both in Riverside and at the great country place in Northern Indiana. We are saddened to learn of Hanks passing but are bouyed up by our warm memories of him. He was one of the rare ones.

Uncle Hank will truly be missed by his far away Southern family. He was a wonderful uncle, great uncle and great great uncle! When you were talking with him you were the most important person in the room. He had the gift, along with Aunt Eleanor, to always make us feel very special and important, but most of all loved.

Cambria will not be the same village in my mind without Henry. I love you Evelyn and all the beauty you two brought to my Cambria during those years I share it with you.
