I will remember always how at every service, Henry would look across the isle and give that sweet smile as only he could.
Now he is with the angels, smiling all the time. No more pain and he can walk all over heaven and no one will have to worry that he will fall or get hurt.
I know you will all miss him,, but I pray that God will comfort all of you until we see him again in heaven. You are all in my prayers. Joyce
May God bless you. I worked with Henry for several years at Southern Concrete. He will be missed by all. Paul and Jean Sherlin
Ruby and girls,
I am so sorry to hear about this but just remember that Henry is in a better place and not suffering any more. Just think of all our friends and family that was there to greet him. You are in my prayers. I love you all.
Ruby, Carleen, Marilyn, Rebecca, and Sara–I am so sorry to hear of Henry’s passing. He was a good man with a heart of gold who blessed many people in his time here on earth. I’ll always remember stopping by the store with my Daddy early on a Saturday morning before we’d go work on the house we were building on Glady Fork, and getting a fried chocolate pie and a Brownie to drink. (What a wonderful breakfast!!) Henry was always glad to see us and always had a smile.
I’ll be praying for you all; I know this time is hard, but I also know you’ll see him again!
We are saden by your lose. You are in our prayers. We love you.
My prayers are with you and your family.
