Wow! Nine years already. Mom would be so excited about so many new Henry's. I am looking forward to the 2023 reunion and I am sure we will feel Mom's presence there. We will have to bake the chocolate chip cookies again.
If we hod a lobster cookout, we won't be able to tell her what we paid for lobster. I use her cookbook regularly, but haven't tried everything yet,

Mom had a great regard for her driveway. There was always a basketball court in the driveway. For her 80th birthday celebration, we invited friends and family to gather in the driveway to greet Mom and enjoy light refreshments.

I visited her once when she was about 92. She set two white plastic chairs from the porch on the driveway right in front of the garage. We sat and visited in the late afternoon sunshine. She said that she knew she was getting older, but she still felt pretty much the same as she always felt. She didn't particularly feel older.

It's a true blessing to know someone well over the course of many years. Mom taught us all how to grow older with grace. I visited her at Yale New Haven hospital leading up to the 4th of July holiday seven years ago. That night I stayed at her house. It was the only time I have ever stayed there with no one else present. On the kitchen counter was a tin of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, the cookies she baked just before winding up in cardiac intensive care at the hospital.

She taught so many of us so much about living life with meaning and grace. She never lost her sense of fun and her dedication to the younger generation.
Even today, seven years after her death, she continues to teach and inspire us in so many ways.

Happy 95th birthday, Grandma. Love and miss you.

"Straighten up and fly right"... That about says it all. A lot of us heard that when we were young. My condolences to the family. Rest in peace Mrs. Henry. You will be missed by many.

You are so missed, Dear Amy. Your hard work, dedication and stamina, your wonderful wit and wisdom, your indomitable spirit, and most especially your love and friendship will always be remembered. Singing in the church choir will never quite be the same without you. I am so blessed to have known you, and we all will continue to be inspired by the example you set and the life that you led.

Hi Evan, and all the Henrys.
Your mother was a remarkable person. Her strength and wisdom were an inspiration. Our very best wishes to everyone. -Mike, Gail and Caroline Griswold, Cary NC.

To all the Henry family,
What a great woman you had as mother, grandmother, great grand mother, or friend. She touched so many at her church: we all loved her dearly.
May God hold you hands while you think of her, letting you know she is well. Love, Annette

A wonderful teacher who left great memories for me and my children. Thank you Amy.

Thank you Mrs. Henry for being the sweet, wonderful teacher you were. Always kind and helpful in every way and always a help whether it was school or church or whatever you were involved in. You will be greatly missed by many!

I was so blessed to have had Mrs. Henry as a teacher some 35 years ago... when I met her again with my daughter in elementary school, I was so touched to learn from her that she had kept a gift I had made and given to her as a child, and that she hung it on her Christmas Tree each year. Goodbye, with love and gratitude.

Dear Mrs. Henry,
Thank you for your smile & love & kindness you always shared with me & my family. I am grateful for your gifts of gentleness, strength, beauty, courage, wisdom, laughter & grace. You are one of the world's most special angels, & always have been. I will miss seeing you. I will keep your love in my heart & share it with others. <3

A message from Galen, age 11. 
"Mrs. Henry, If you were right here sitting next to me, I would hug you & tell you how happy I am that I have known you my whole life! You have always been an amazing person who I think of as one of the most kind adopted grandmothers I've ever had. I will miss you so so much. I hope you will visit me in any way you can. Love, Galen
