You, the entire London family, are in my prayers and my thoughts. Henry and I had just wished each other a Happy New Year early that morning. He was a loving, thoughtful, caring, man who brought a smile to the faces of everyone he encountered. A classmate. He cared deeply about those he felt close to, visiting when he felt the need, and reaching out to make sure you were okay. I, along with many others, loved Henry, and am deeply saddened by is passing, but God knows best.

I have so many wonderful and fond memories of "Speedy", and I will continue to pray for all of you.

Love,

Mrs. London and Geraldine: you and your family are in our prayers. I remember Henry from High School because he and I took French Classes together and he was very protective of me because I was a freshmen at the time. When ever I saw him we would always say Hello in French.
