(Feb. 2, 2010) From Adam and Karla Henry: Our son, George Emory Henry, is with our Father in Heaven. This great loss has been softened with all the love and prayers from so many. George was born on January 11, 2010, ten weeks early. He was kicking and full of life for almost 3 weeks when his little body could not continue. We had the best doctors and nurses at Baptist Hospital keeping him as healthy and comfortable as possible – giving him every chance to make it on this earth. He had a form of dwarfism and underdeveloped lungs which could never catch up to the rest of his growing body. We know he is breathing Heaven’s air now. Please pray for our family, and especially my wife Karla, as we grieve and at the same time celebrate George’s wonderful life. There will be a celebration of George’s life this Saturday, 02/06/2010, at Christ Community Church in Franklin at 12:30. All are welcome.
