In Loving Memory of Theodora Henry

This picture was taken this last August on her 90th birthday.

Josh's grandmother, Theodora Henry, passed away at 11:13 p.m. on Sunday, December 23rd. She was 90 years old. Although her death was not unexpected, her passing still brings sadness this holiday. Josh is grateful for the wonderful memories he has from years past as well are recent phone conversations and a visit with Grandma Henry last summer. He is also grateful that both his parents were able to drive to Boise, Idaho, and be with her before she passed. It was a blessing that all her children were able to gather with her in the final days.

The following poem was read at our neighbor, Jim Hall's, funeral last Friday. As soon as Josh heard it he thought of his grandmother. We share it with you in tribute to Teddie:

“I know how much you miss me,
trust God and have no fear
for I’m spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

I can’t tell you of the splendor
or the peace here in this place.
Can you imagine Christmas
with our Savior, face to face?

May God uplift your spirit
as I tell Him of your love
then pray for one another
as you lift your eyes above.

So let your hearts be joyful
and let your spirits sing
for I’m spending Christmas in Heaven
and I’m walking with the King!”
