To the Flint family, my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Please find comfort in the knowledge that soon God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and “death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things (will) have passed away.”(Rev. 21:3,4) May this promise give you comfort now and a real hope for the future. My deepest sympathies.

So sorry to hear the passing of Henry. My condolences to the whole family.

Melissa my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your friends at Mountain Hospice are thinking of you.

To Carolyn and all of the family, So sorry to read the passing of Henry. Glad his suffering is over and he is at peace. May God be with all of you.

I didn't know how fortunate I was when I was growing up to have such a big family. There seemed to be gatherings quite often with aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins. In addition we were lucky to have frequent summer farm visitors. Henry was one of them. I remember his visits fondly now despite the fact that Henry said I was bossy (true) and that we made him work too hard (not true), But as we reconnected in later years we bantered about all of this and laughed a lot. That seems to have happened a lot around Henry. Laughter and singing. We're going to miss that. But we can laugh, and we can sing, and we can remember.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

you will be greatly missed! Give Ashley a hug for me.

So sorry to hear of Henry’s passing. He was a very sweet, gentle man and a good neighbor. He will be missed.

Didn't know Henry that well but knew his dad well thru my dad, they fox hunted together. Great man and I'm sure Henry was as well. Prayers and thoughts are with the family.

Dear Patty, I am so sorry for your loss! Many prayers for you and yours!

Henry was our dearest friend for many years. He was the best man at our wedding with he and Patty driving all the way to Nashville up to visiting with Jim several weeks ago after retiring from the church. What a visit they both had! Talking of old times, all the horse riding and hours of laughter camping at Twin Lakes. The kids and grandkids we love like family. Two old cowboys reminiscing of the good old days and singing down heaven at Gospel Barn! Oh how the spirit moved and now Henry just one step and breath ahead of us. See you soon dear friend. You’ve ran your race. Well done thy good and faithful friend.

So sorry to hear this. God bless you and family. RIP. Respectfully Suzanne Maddix-Hurtado
