We all miss you so much! We just can’t believe you are gone. Looking forward to the time we will be able to see each other again when there will be no more pain and crying. You had such a strong faith and set such a good example for all of us!
I will never let go of the heart Henri shared with my family. His love will stay with us forever. He taught I, Shirley, Payne and Cole his wonderful love of life, and spoiled us with delicacies from France. I relish the beautiful love he shared with his amazing wife, Doris.
Henri, Je t’aime mon ami. A la semaine prochaine….
Condolences to Dale and the children. Henri will be missed. What a wonderful brother and friend!
We’ll see one another again soon…just around the corner.
Henri was such a good man and so generous to all. He was so positive and fun to be with even while he was sick. We miss him and know he will awake. Soon and share his talents with all in a beautiful paradise where there will be no more sickness sorrow and death we love and wish the best for his family
My heartfelt condolences for Henri’s family. I worked for Doris and Henri when I was just 16 years old and will never forget them. He taught me to love life and those around me. He always had such a warm welcoming smile and made everyone around him feel important. I will miss him and all the wonderful pasteries that we shared.
Blessing,
Laura
