#1 Marilyn Combs 2012-07-03 03:24 Words are hard to come by at a time like this. The last few days I have sat and thought about all the summers that she spent at our house when we were growing up. She was like a sister . Telling me not to get in her makeup or touch her can-can slips that were starched to make her dress stand out. But of course I did . I never recall her getting angry with any of us. We all loved her so much and are deeply sadened at her passing. Except for the fact that knowing our family, she has received such a glorious
homecoming from Bobby and all the others that are already in Heaven. Never again will there be pain in her life.

We Love You, Hank

#3 Iris Goins 2012-07-04 01:59 Vicky, David, Deonna, Sherry,
It has been so sad to think of Henrietta being gone. My thoughts & prayers are and have been with all of you children & grandchildren, Henrietta was so proud of each of you. May you find comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain, and is now having a Big Homecoming Celebration with Bob and all the other family members who have gone on before her. I have lots of good memories of my Aunt Henrietta as I'm sure you all do, and memories are something no one can ever take away from us. May God Comfort each of you during this difficult time and the days ahead, it is always sad & lonely for us left behind but keep in mind Henrietta has entered a better place with no more sickness or pain.
