I was thinking today of my former neighbor, Wallace Henderson, because my son's first name is Wallace. Mr. Henderson and I would chat from time to time when I walked the dog around the neighborhood. I always enjoyed his company and I look forward to resuming our friendship in eternity with Christ. May God bless you with many precious memories.
