Dear Clay, Alan, Carl, Keith, your families, and the entire Henning clan,
My heart goes out to you all. Aunt Edie was always such a happy and loving person. I consider myself very fortunate to have known her and been part of the extended Henning family. I will always remember her warm smile and caring nature. I hope with time the hurt you are all feeling today will ease, and fond, happy memories will help to see you through. With love and deepest sympathy, Chris Wilson

I would like to wish the best for the family at this difficult time. My Mom May Sandifer who went to be with Jesus a couple months ago did e mail with Edith. I felt like I knew her from the email that my Mom forwarded to me from her. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am sure that Mom and Edith have some catching up to do with their e mail.
God Bless you richly
