I am crushed by the news Richard. Thanks to you and Mary for sharing Henry’s story and the joy and richness he brought into your lives. Your colleagues mourn with you.
Our beloved son Henry passed away. He had the softest blue eyes, an easy smile and a contagious giggle. We always surrounded him with love and he returned it, and so much more. Mary and Richard. texaschildrens.site/duncan-n…
