The Carters were great neighbors when we loved down by them for 13 years. Heaven just gained another great man. Our sympathy to his family
So sorry to hear about my Birthday Buddy. We share the same day and he always remembered to tell me Happy Birthday. Thoughts and prayers for you all in this difficult time. We are in Texas already but hope to see Joan when we get back.
Rose Ann, I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words to describe losing a daddy. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love you.
Rose Ann and I have been friends for 30 years. Even though I only meet Henry a time or two during that 30 years – I have heard many Henry stories from his baby girl so I know what a great man he was. The coming days will be a very difficult for you all. Please remember – you have many friends and loved ones that are praying for you. Rose Ann – Love you my friend.
Rose Ann and family. So very sorry for your loss. Henry was a loving husband and father and I know his loss will be so deeply felt by you all. Your Arkansas family will be here for you and will keep you in their prayers.
I am so deeply saddened by Henry's passing. He has been my Dad's best friend forever, and always so sweet and kind. He will be missed by so many, certainly our entire family. My prayers and sympathy to Joanne, Andy, and Roseanne. May God be with you through this difficult time, and always.
My sincere condolences for the family in your difficult time. Please take comfort in what the Bible promises for those who have died. At John 5:28, 29, God assures us that, "the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." So you can look forward to seeing Henry again, and I hope this helps you in this difficult time.
