Our Bo Henry was a very loved and respected man by all who knew him. He has always been a hardworking person learning anything and everything he ever came across. There was nothing he would not try to fix, to make something out of nothing. He always gave his all in everything he set out to do. Henry was a strong man that had a heart of gold, always willing to help others. There was no stopping him. He didn’t have much of an education but that never held him back from learning everything he could. He was always willing to share his knowledge with others to help them get through life. Our Bo was a jokester always telling a joke or two, sometimes even making up his own. Our family was very blessed to have so much time with him. Our time and memories will always, forever be our hearts. Although we will never be the same without him, his legacy will live on. The love and care he gave our mother these last two years was unbelievable and for that we thank him from the bottom of our hearts. He did love his Beautiful Momma Rose.
