Seem like yesterday we was all outside listing to down home blues at your house for your birthday we missing you like crazy on this place we call earth to know you are resting and smiling down on us I will no long ask why or complain I love you grandaddy
When I would visit Denwood during the Seventies, the Henry's lived next door to my aunt, Rosie McCoy. We were all one big family, Arthur loved me as if I was his own. I appreciate his love and guidance. I will forever treasure my last visit with him in 2016. "MR. GENTLEMAN, MAY YOU FOREVER REST IN PEACE!'
I'm so sorry to hear of Arthur’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I recently lost both my parents. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And Isaiah 25:8 promises: “He(God) will swallow up death forever.” God’s word offers us real hope for those who have died. I hope reading these verses also gives you a degree of comfort and hope during this difficult time. jw.org
Sending my love and prayer to the entire family. May God give you all the strength and comfort during this time. RIH Arthur Henry Sr. God Bless All!
