To the family of Don Henry,
I am the bindery manager for Quebecor World, The Old Downey Printing. I am so sorry for your loss. I just found out and I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed knowing and working with Don. Don was always hard working and always a gentleman. We were all sad when he moved to North Carolina.
Don and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless Your Family,

I had the opportunity to get to know Don Henry when I worked in Des Moines Iowa. I worked from 1977 to 1985 and then moved to Charlotte NC. He was a great guy with a great smile and the biggest heart. He will surely be missed. We will keep him in our prayers. God Bless. Rita and Ron Lambe

I don't remember how we met or even the last time we spoke to each other. What I remember is his smile every time I saw him and the kindness that sprang forth at each meeting. I pray that your family has the peace that only Jesus gives and I will remember all of you in prayer.

I wish to express my deepest condolences to everyone. It was a pleasure and honor to know him. He made me laugh and I smile now, thinking of him. I pray that the LORD will give you strength in his going home and in the days ahead. I recieved this poem when my father passed away, I hope it gives you the comfort it gave me.
THE BROKEN CHAIN
"We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again."
