I love Papaw very much. I will always remember his "windy" stories. He always said that me and him were "windy" because we were born in March.

Goodnight, sweet dreams, Tomorrow's another day til then sweet dreams sweetheart. May Angels up above watch over you and keep you safe my love til the dawn shines through. Good Night, sweet dreams, I'll see you alone the way in dreams sweet dreams sweetheart.
I love you Daddy. Thanks for all the good times I remember as a child. For all the spankings you didn't give to me but let Mommy think you did. The song I wrote above is one that you and Mommy use to sing to me when I was going to sleep. Remember that Daddy but of course you do.. That song and you will always be in my heart. I'm sorry I couldn't be with you today. So now, I'll see you along the way in my sweet dreams sweetheart. Until we can both be together again in Heaven I will be with you in sweet dreams.
Dianne

Please accept my deepest condolences. I am Henry's son. Since I moved from Justice to South Carolina about 4 years ago, I have not been able to stay in touch very well. I do not have phone numbers for Helen, Donna/Ebbo, General, or any of the family. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide phone numbers so I can call.

Heartfelt Sympathy to Family and Friends of Christopher.
I knew him through his daughter Diane, and even shared some times with him through emails, and got to see photos of him.
Diane spoke fondly of her Dad, and he sure seemed like a great guy. He sent me a few model train parts,and also a cap with a train logo on it, and when I look at these I have always thought of him, and will continue to do so.
God Bless, Strengthen and comfort you all...You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Your Friends from New Zealand

I will never forget when you came all the way out to see me for my graduation in Seattle, WA. It meant so much to have you and Aunt Helen there. Both of you have always been there when I needed you. Thanks for all the laughs!!! It will never be the same without your big smile! God Bless you!
