Our love and sympathy to all of the Henry family on losing the family patriarch. Joe will be greatly missed, but his influence and life lives on through all of you who were so blessed to have him for so long! I pray the good memories you have made over the years with him will serve to comfort you as you grieve his passing. May God hold you all in the palm of His hand and give you peace.
Janet,
I’m sorry to hear about your Dad. You and your family are in our prayers. I really enjoyed the stories you told to us about him with the Tuesday morning group.

I loved hearing Joe sing at church and when he would comment during the service out of nowhere. He will be missed so much. What a great Godly man. Not many left.
God has another angel in his congregation!!
