I am so sorry to hear about Henri's death. In high school, that's what we called her. We were good friends, and I treasure memories of her. She grew into a beautiful woman, inside and out.

The world was a better place for having her in it.

I am shocked and deeply saddened by this news.  I just talked to her earlier this year.  She and I have kept in touch all these years - about every three months, and we update each other about our lives.  She supported my work at an orphanage in Mexico and was a very friendly and giving person.  I will miss your distinctive voice and laughter and, of course, our 50-year friendship.  Rest in Peace with Jesus my dear Hennie!
