Carmen and the Rivas family,
Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. I always think of Henry smiling and trying to get the most out of the moment. Every time we saw Henry, he was really enjoying the people and the moment at the gatherings in recent years and at your wedding in Dana Point. May God rest his soul, end his suffering, and fill your hearts with his loving memory while bringing some form of peace to the many friends and family mourning this loss.
Sincerely,
Greg and Donna Christensen

Poppi Henry,
I will always remember our fun times together in the backyard, while you taught me how to use a hammer and measuring tape. Every time I ride my red bike I will think of you…
Love always and forever,
Your little grandson Max
I miss you!!

you engraved in each one of us.

Henry, we wanted to let you know that Sophia misses you and that she now knows that you are resting. Ella sabe que estas descansando con Dios. We are so thankful that our little Nicholas, your youngest nephew, was able to experience your warm heart and love for him. You were able to hold him with a smile during your challenging time. We appreciate you allowing us to be part of your life. Tony, Araceli, little Sophia and little Nicholas
