    Dear Gloria, I am thinking of you and your family at this sad, sad time. Sorry I could not make it to services. My condolences to you all. I will remember Uncle Henry and my Dad's baby brother. I have such fond memories of him and Aunt Dixie. They were remarkable people. Uncle Henry had an amazing memory practically until the end. Love to all.

    So very sorry for the loss of your loved one. I didn't know him but my grandfather, Robert Stephen Wilkins (wife-Julia) was born in St. Pauls and he had a bro. named Judd who had sons -Horace & Henry. I was wondering if your Henry may be a distant cousin of mine. You may email me if you like. Again, so sorry for your loss, may God confort you. (Glyn Williams)
