Mrs. Frech, my heart goes out to you and your family.We're thinking and praying for you daily. This verse helped me get through some rough times, so I thought I'd share it with you: Revelation 7:16-18 ‘Never again will they hunger;never again will they thirst.The sun will not beat down on them,’nor any scorching heat.For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;‘he will lead them to springs of living water.‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.' Love Your former student, Reannon Burkhart

Dear Ann, Michael and Chris, Nancy and I share in your grief and want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Henry and I were best of friends growing up and were virtually inseperable for many years. Though as adults our paths crossed less frequently, Henry continued to occupy a great space in my heart. I loved him like a brother and will always treasure the wonderful times we had together on 53rd street. Friends like Henry are rare indeed, and I shall miss him but will always treasure my memories of him.

My Dad once told me, 'If you have three true friends in your whole life, you're a very lucky person.' Henry and I spent the better part of twenty years as next door neighbors and became real friends. We shared our lives as only real friends can, thru good times and tragedies. I guess that's how you tell who your real friends are. They stick with you thru it all. Thru the years, we couldn't get together very often. Usually it was on the phone. But we we did get together this January to say our goodbye in person. We shared our faith in Christ and in our secure future. I find great comfort in knowing that Henry was ready to meet Jesus. I'm sure I'll see him again. Dad was right. I am blessed enough to have more than three--- and Henry was one. I Thessalonians 4:13-18
