To family and friends of Henry my sincere condolences. Henry sounds like he was a strong and happy young man. May you take comfort in knowing that sickness and death were never a part of God’s plan for us and in Isaiah 36:5,6 he shows us that after the fulfillment of the promised resurrection those who had any physical impairment will be free from them. May God give you strength during this difficult time and may you see Henry healthy and smiling again in the near future.
Blue Church is praying for your family.

Dear David and family, I am so sorry for your loss, for our loss. I just received the news yesterday that your son had passed away. I was devastated. I would have been there for services and for family support if it had been possible. I’m recovering from open heart surgery and was not allowed to travel until this past Friday and then at short intervals. My heart goes out to you and yours. You are loved very much. If there’s anything I can do for your family please don’t hesitate to call or text me at 740-801 0983. God Bless you and ease your grief through this difficult time. Love, Tana Casarez, 73290 Old 21 Rd Kimbolton OH. 43749
Condolences to your family. May you receive comfort from the word of God during this time of loss. Acts 24:15 says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. Can you imagine the joy of Martha and Mary when Jesus raised Lazarus back to life?—Read John 11:21-24, 38-44. Revelation 21:3,4 promises that one day death, mourning, and outcry will be no more.
