I truly enjoyed seeing George at our family gatherings.  He always had a smile on his face.  Although I was young, I remember having conversations with Mary Helen and him and they are wonderful memories!  See you again one day in Heaven George!!

DEAR MARY HELEN AND GEORGE'S FAMILY
I worked in health with George  in the early 1980's, and he was not only one of my favorite persons but he was like a big brother a second dad.  He helped  my children and me in so many ways.  He holds a special place in our heart. He is a wonderful person and His life has touched many of us in such a blessed way. Mary Helen I remember the two of you going to China, Egypt and some other places and how you two were devoted to each other.  I thank the Lord for putting both of you in my life.

MARY HELEN,

JAN CALLED ME LAST SATURDAY AND TOLD ME OF GEORGE'S PASSING.  I LOST MY DAD LAST YEAR, SO I FEEL YOUR PAIN ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL.  I KNEW YOU TWO HAD TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY, BUT THE REST OF GEORGE'S LIFE ASIDE FROM HIS HEALTH DEPARTMENT YEARS I WAS UNAWARE OF.  HE WAS A FINE MAN AND I KNOW YOU WILL MISS HIM TERRIBLY.  JUST GIVE GOD THE THANKS AND GLORY FOR SHARING HIM WITH YOU FOR ALL THOSE WONDERFUL YEARS.  YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR MEMORIES OF A GOOD MAN, AND MAY GOD COMFORT YOU DURING THIS MOST STRESSFUL TIME.

On May 1, 1972 I started a new job going to work for a wonderful man.....George Henson!  We worked hard, but we also laughed lots!  Though it's been many years since I last saw George, he's always remained in my heart. Working with George gave me the opportunity to meet and become friends with his best friend, Mary Helen.   What a treat reading about George's  life and many travels with Mary Helen and others. Mary Helen, my deepest sympathy to you in this great loss. I can still hear George calling you "Mawy Hewen" as he did so often! Such an awesome life for both of you!

What a wonderfull friend and gentleman.  I worked with and knew George in my years with the  State of TN, Department of Health.  He was one of my favorites and always had a story to tell.  God bless you and thank you for sticking by Him, Mary Helen.  My deepest synpathy goes out to you and I smile to think of George, he was a good one.  LaDonna Shrum

Mary Helen,
My condolences on the loss of your beloved, George. Never have I witnessed such care and dedication that is, in your care for George. You fought for him, to keep him safe and sought only the best for him. I can only hope to have half of your grace and devotion to another. Respectfully

We are better people to have the friendship of George
