This is truly a great loss. Herbert and I have been friends for over 70 years. A great friend and person. We had a very special friendship, it was a family one. Our families were friends probably before we were born.Rest in peace friend and know that you will always be in my thoughts. Enjoyed seeing you and having fun on our class reunion cruise. Never met your family, but I know they are very special people. Will keep your family in my prayers.

Mr. Henry,
I just wanted to thank you one last time for loving my mom. If it weren't for you I don't know what kind of life I would have had. I am the woman I am today because of your love for her. You were there to see me rise.. there to see me fall.. you were there when I had all my kids.. you were there through it all. You didn't have to be.. but you chose to be.. and to me that means a lot. So thank you again and again for loving my mom, for helping raise two kids that were just as feisty as their momma, and thank you for Jasmin. It was beautiful watching you and my mom raise her to be the young princess she is now. Please Rest In Peace, you worked way too hard not to! Love now and always
