My deepest sympathy. I am a friend of your daughter Sarah and met you and Henry while you were in Ottawa with her. I remain impressed with how you cared for Sarah at that time. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers. May the Lord comfort and strengthen you in this time of grief and loss.
Sincerely

My condolences go out to the family. Henry was a kind, generous man who gave me great encouragement when I joined EMR. I will always fondly remember him .
Jeanne: Luella and I were shocked and saddened to hear of Henry’s passing. We shared many good years working together at EM&R and he was always ready with good advice when asked. Our thoughts are with you at this time.

Years ago I had the privilege of spending time with you both on a visit to Victoria with Marie Corns. I remember Henry’s enthusiasm as he showed us around the Butchart Gardens. I hold that day in a special place in my heart. Your hospitality did not end there as you so kindly had us over for supper. I so enjoyed the time I was able to spend with you both. May God watch over you and your family.
