Mr. Henry was such a sweet, kind and loving man. I met him while working at the 4-Way. He would tell me that when he worked with my Mother (Louise Smith Poole) at Union Carbide that they always said they were cousins. I loved this man so much and yes he would do anything for anybody. Always such a caring man. R.I.P. with Jesus Mr Henry and just know that you and I will meet up again in Heaven!!! PRAYERS FOR ALL THE FAMILY. MAY GOD BRING YOU PEACE AND COMFORT IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU WILL BE REUNITED WITH THIS SWEET MAN!!! MUCH LOVE Becky Lowe

My cousin Henrylee, had such a kind spirit and always smiling. Always willing to help anyone and any time. He was a humble gentle man of God. I will always cherish the time I spent with him each time I came track home to Cartersville to visit. No matter how much time we had together, it was never enough. He had a wealth of information about my dad, that died when I was a baby, and my grandmother that I remember so well. He loved his family and his church family. I am so greatful that I visited with him a few weeks before he went on to his heavenly home. We laughed and talked for more than an hour and a half. During our conversation, we talked about the Four Way Cafe,where I would surprise him and meet him there for breakfast. I always knew where and what time . That was his second home and extended family. Left there feeling so good but never would I ever dream that that would be the last time that I would see him. I will love and miss my Cousin Henrylee as long as I live but I know he is resting in perfect peace.

Henry will be missed by his family and the whole of Bartow County. He helped everyone and never saw color. He was part of the Mitchell,Carlisle family for over 50 years,and was loved by us all. He helped raise all the grandchildren as part of his job at the store!!! A part of us is gone with his passing, but he left something valuable in each of us; to love one another,do for each other, respect each other, work hard, but most of all,love the Lord and serve Him. I was always proud to call him my black uncle, not by blood but by choice because of love. Henry was better to me than any uncle i had. Henry was a joker and prankster, loved a good laugh!!! Will be missed in life. Renee Carlisle Hibbard
