My condolences to Henry’s family. Henry was like a rock to me, always there during the hard time in my life. I considered myself his niece and friend. He is now resting and no longer in pain.

Tio,
You’re passing last Tuesday was one that was very heartbreaking to our entire family. Every single day, every single moment and every single minute of the day you are thought of and sincerely as well as greatly missed within our family. It’s still very hard for me to believe that you’re gone…but my heart will ALWAYS be grateful for the time that you gave all of us here on this earth. Thank you SO, SO much for everything that you have done for myself and my daughter and our entire family Tio! You always had a heart of GOLD, and NO ONE will ever compare to you! No one will ever replace you! The suffering you endured over the last five months, is one I will never understand, but I pray that God helps us all find clarity, as well as eases the pain in our hearts with the reality of you no longer being physically here. I am so honored & blessed that you were in mine & my daughters life Tio…you will NEVER be forgotten!
HEAVEN is VERY blessed to have such a beautiful soul! ❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH Tio!
