Justin, Joel, Stu and Rachel......I know that losing a parent is very difficult and my heart hurts for all of you. I hope all of you can find comfort in knowing that Henry was an incredible man who loved his family dearly. Seek comfort in our heavenly Father during this time and HE will give you the comfort and understanding that you need. You have an angel in heaven that is watching over you now and he is perfect and unblemished. He has a brand new body that has no ailments and the great news is that he's saving a place for all of us.

Heartfelt thoughts go out to you Trudy. I know that Henry is now looking down from heaven in an awesome resting place where he has been made whole and new. He has no pain, sickness nor suffering. My hope is that you will find comfort in our Lord during this difficult time since HE is our comforter. We don't always understand why things happen, but most of the time we aren't supposed to. Please know that I'm praying for you and the family, so that you can feel the Lord's presence and comfort. .............. Lean on Him and give Him all your hurts and concerns. He's there waiting to listen. "Those who live no more, Whom we loved, Echo still within our thoughts, Our words, our hearts.".....Richard Fife

To Joel and your family; Joel I will always remember the first time I met your father at the yellow house where you and Ale were married. I remember him being very easy and friendly to speak to. I have not shared this with you, but your "Dad" spoke very highly about you and how happy he was your father. I was very touched by how he felt about you. Not only was he proud of you but he also did not forget to mention how proud he was of all his children. Sometimes as parents we do not share these feeling with our own children. After speaking with him he taught me and told me to make sure I share this with my girls. Your Dad has taught me to be a better father to my girls and for this, I will always think about him when sharing love with Tash and Gabi. May the Lord bless your "Father" and your family during this special time. I will be sure to say a special prayer for your Mom at this difficult time. Love you JOEL; Tio Tony
