Tribute archive: section 13

Little Henry was a vibrant, happy, joyful little soul. He was always glad to greet you. He loved chasing feet. He knew if his Mommy was wearing a new pair of shoes, he had to inspect them throughly. Henry had a collection of stuffed toys which he prized. He loved his “men” as we called them. He had over thirty men in his little army. They had to be a certain size. If they were too big or too small he would kick them out! Henry had a wonderful voice. He would talk his talk to you without hesitation. He would sing to his Mommy in the morning! His voice would carry through the house and you could not help but to smile. He would patrol our backyard every evening. On the lookout for anything out of the ordinary and if he found something you would know about it. Henry was a sweet little boy. He loved his brother Jake and his sisters Sadie and Lucy. He loved his Mommy and Daddy too. I would tuck him in every night and he so looked forward to it. I would tell him “goodnight sweet boy” or “I love you little Re-Re” and I know he was grateful to hear those words. We miss him profoundly. Henry was not a pet. He was a family member. Henry came to us needing some help and we were so glad to give it to him. He returned our love for him one hundred and ten percent. Henry was always a healthy, strong little boy. When he had renal failure it was quite a shock. Our vet tried his best to save him. But the renal failure was so severe Henry just could not fight his way back to us. We had just lost his sister Sadie a month earlier. We think he may have been heartbroken that she was gone and it weakened his ability to fight the renal failure. The kind folks at Peaceful Pet Passage helped once again and now Sadie and Henry’s names are on the Memorial Wall together. Thank you Rob and John and all of the kind people that are part of Peaceful Pet Passage. Henry, You are a good son. You will always be in your Mommy and Daddy’s hearts. We love you. Rest in the embrace of our loving God.
