Henry had a unique love for everyone! He especially loved faces and close around him. Henry's siblings remember that he had Down Syndrome. He would smile at them when they smiled at him. His family and friends loved him greatly. Henry often clasped his hands in front of him as though he were praying! Henry touched everyone he met and will always be remembered. He was a precious gift from the LORD!
