Aunt Francis is the last of my father's (Joe Thomas Henson) sibling. A generation of people gone. It is a sad day for us, but a happy reunion for all of them in heaven. Aunt Nell passed away on this same date (June 1) in 2019. Just two years ago. I remember these Aunts as young ladies - from when I stayed weeks with them back in the mid 1950's. They were young and vibriant; beautiful ladies with long lives ahead of them. This is how I will always remember them. God bless the family during this time of loss. Love to you....Delsie Henson Wright.
