Steven, Wendi and Noah Grezlak of Phoenix, AZ send our condolences to my Uncle Henry’s family. We wish you God’s peace.

My condolances to your family. I was a long time friend of your mother (was her hairdresser), Julia, and as such, heard much about her wonderful family. He would come to pick her up when she was finished, standing outside the door, calling her name. She would call back to him, "I’m coming Hank." Always made me smile. How wonderful for you all to have had him with you so long.
