God's speed to my cousin Henry on his journey home. My deepest sympathy to you Phyllis and Leslie. I will remember Henry for his sense of humor and his quick wit. His work in journalism provided him with a unique perspective on events of the times and he was always ready to share that with you. I will also remember how much he was loved by his mother, my sweet Aunt Maude. He was her pride and joy. Her face would just light up when she talked about him, especially when he was coming to visit her. If there is cornbread in heaven I expect she is cooking for the celebration.
