Dear Nel & Family We will keep you in our thoughts & prayers. It is our prayer that God will be a real comfort to you at this difficult time and in the days ahead. Your Henry was such a special man and was loved by all whose lives he touched. We were truly blessed to have Henry as a part of our life here at Victoria Beach. We will really miss him. Henry was one in a million and we loved him. He has left us with many precious memories. We loved our visits with Henry over a cup of coffee or a cold drink. Just loved to listen to him tell us about his life. And, when he was going through his health issues, he would come over and would ask us to pray for him. Henry never complained and was always content. He always brought us his famous "smoked goldeye" which we loved. We will miss our visits with Henry! He was dearly loved and will really be missed. Our deepest sympathy & prayers go out to you all. Love & Prayers Nelson & Mary-Ann - Posted by: NELSON & MARY-ANN HASTMAN (FRIENDS) on: May 14, 2013
