In 1996 I became a new Trial Court Assistant and worked for Circuit Judge David Goodson. I was truly "wet behind the ears" when it came to working in the court system. Henrietta was sweet and kind to me whenever I asked her questions about court procedure in the Circuit Clerk's office. She was patient, she was kind, she was helpful. I have no doubt she has "gained" her wings and smiling down on all of us. Thank you Henrietta for being my friend.
