Just want you to know how sorry I am about Henry. There are no friends like old friends. Even though we didn’t see each other often, it was a comfort to know familiar faces still lived on our street. It’s funny, but whenever the subject of amusement parks comes up, I always think of your family & how you guys always went on vacations & enjoyed them so. You will always have those cherished memories. Henry was a good neighbor, special in his own way & will never be forgotten. Love, Becky
