To The Henry Family... You all have my deepest sympathy... I pray that Jehovah continues to give you all the strength and peace that surpasses all understanding... Sandra Faye had a beautiful spirit and encouraging words for all that she spoke to... When I moved back to Melville in 2017 we used to talk every time I went to Cannatella's Store and she was working at Grant's home... It was good to see a familiar friendly person who NEVER changed... She had a heart of pure gold... I will miss her dearly... Rest In Paradise because I know you have received your white robe and crown of righteousness!!! You will be forever Loved and Missed by all who knew you...๐๐ฝ๐โค๏ธ๐น Sharon Oliney-Adams
