Rest assured, the Bennett family is in our prayers as you all deal with your loss. Henry’s gentle and kind nature reminded me of this old Apache Blessing. May it help you through your grief.

May the sun bring you new energy by day.

May the moon swiftly restore you by night.

May the rain wash away your worries.

May the breeze blow new strength into your being.

May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life.

Henry will be truly missed by family, friends, and the Rich Square community.

Gail,

I am so sorry to hear of about Henry. I have known him all my life and he was always so nice. I can’t believe it. The Bennett family was a big part of Rich Square Baptist Church and I know he will be missed.

My God bless you all,

Gail and Family,

You are truely in my thoughts and prayers, for I know that loosing your soul-mate is the most devistating that can happen to us. But if we accept the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, our family and friends, we make it through these trying times. I know you will do this. He came from wonderful parents, for Uncle Henry and Aunt Dot were the best. You, Henry and the rest of the children have followed their example. His wonderful smile will surely be missed. Love you all.

To all the family:

There are so many fond memories of Little Henry and all the Bennett clan at Papa’s and Grandmama’s house. Aunt Dot and Uncle Henry did such a good job with the molding and shaping of remarkable children. Little Henry you will be missed greatly here on earth but you were needed more in heaven’s paradise. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:3 We know that your heart aches and you can not begin to comprehend this profound loss but the God that is greater the we are will never leave your side. He lives within your heart. You will be in our heart and prayers now and a long time to come.

Sincerely.. Diane
