Henry n I shared life together as husband and wife from 1/28/77 until 5/85. During those years 3 beautiful sons were conceived, who have turned into handsome, respectable young men. He legally adopted my daughter at the beginning of our marriage.
Henry was a hard working man of God during that time. After allowing satan to creep in, our relationship ended. However, I have many fond memories of Henry and his passing leaves a tremendous void in my heart and life.

John 11:32-45

Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth.
