"To Camille and the Henley family, I want to express my deepest condolences for your loss. I know your father leaves behind many cherished memories and a bond of great love for his family. I was privileged to have met him and he was always very kind and funny. My prayers and thoughts are with you and know that you gave your best to your Father and although he may not could express at times how he felt I believe he knew how much he was loved and cared for. These are the things that really matter when it is all said and done. Now the time has come for your Father to leave your tender loving arms and now dwell for all eternity in the glorious and wonderful arms of Jesus where there will be no more sickness and no more pain. May God comfort and love on you as only He can.
