    Very sorry for your loss. I hope you can find some comfort from the words at Psalms 147:3 that says; "He is healing the broken hearted ones and is binding up their painful spots." God as the hearer of prayer will comfort you in the days ahead as you remember Mr. Henderson. Please take a look at this short video that gives us hope for the future. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/videos/#en/mediaitems/VODMinistryTools/pub-imv_4_VIDEO

    I met Tom in 1959. We were both students at Lamar University in Beaumont, Tx. along with our friends, Ed Hanna and Jerry Trammell. Now, these three friends have all passed away. The three of us enjoyed playing the game of Spades together. Tom and I played a lot of tennis together. Tom was always the gentleman and good sport. It is with heavy heart that I will miss Tom. I'll always remember his positive attitude and quick smile.

    Dear families of Tom and Beverly, I am so sorry to learn of Tom's passing. May God's comfort be with you all during this time of loss. My late wife and I were long time friends of Tom and Beverly. We loved and respected them both and I will certainly miss our email contacts. Tom and I both had long and successful careers with the U.S. Army in the Civilian Personnel field, serving in many challenging and rewarding positions.
