Good Morning Jimmy -it's the first anniversary of your leaving us and your first 4th of July in Heaven. You will always be missed. I think of you and pray for you every day. We need your prayers too. Put in a good word for all of us.  I know you will do that because you were always ready to listen and help everyone as much as you could.  Thanks for that.
     Love you and miss you,  
                               Jo

I pray for you every day and can't even express how much I miss you.
Please watch over me, I can't do it alone.

I love you as much today as always.
Carole

Your first Christmas in Heaven... Miss you everyday, but even more so at Christmas. I think of everyone who is not here with us to celebrate and it makes me sad. 
Even though I can't send you a gift this year, I send you a big hug and lots of love.
Love you.

Our favorite time of the year is here and you're not here with me.
Came to see you last Friday for our Anniversary #40 and will see you again on Christmas Day. It's just not the same and I don't know how to live without you..................I miss you more each day.

Can't wait till we're together again, Will love you always,

Jim - Tomorrow will be 5 months since you left us and it really doesn't get any easier.You were my brother-in-law  but more importantly,you were my friend. You never looked down on people, but always lifted them up. We all miss you very much.    Love, JO

Another month without you. Everyday I think of you and thank God that you were more than an uncle. You were also my friend and I miss talking to you. Love you.    Kathleen

Four months ago today you left me..........
Not a day goes by without me missing you. 
I will love you forever.

Another lonely Sunday without you. I talk to you everyday looking for guidance. You are and always will be my rock. I know you always did and always will be watching over me. Knowing these things doesn't make it any easier without seeing your face and hearing your voice. 
Till we're together again.....I will always love you.

Jim,
It's been 3 months since you left us and we miss you not just on the 4th of every month, but every day. You were and are a wonderful brother-in-law and uncle. Keep smiling on us.
Love always,
Jo

Came to see you today. It's 3 months since you left me. The days and nights  don't get easier. My heart is breaking. I miss you so much.
I love you,
Carole

Can't believe that October 4th. will be 3 months since you passed away.  The days go by, but they are not the same. Everytime that I speak to Aunt Carole, I think of you.  You truly were the best uncle.  Miss you.  Love, Kathleen

Been thinking of you all day today. 
Can't find words to express how I feel without you.
I'll love you always.

I think of you constantly. Every time I go into a store or restaurant, I think of you and how we were there together. I feel like I'm half a person and I can't wait to be with you again so that I can be whole.
When I feel the breeze on my cheek or see a butterfly I think of you. 
I'm only grateful to God that you didn't suffer.
I say good morning every morning and good night every night and I know that you hear me.
I pray that you keep watching over me and stay with me always.
I will always love you, Carole

Every night when I look at the night stars, I think of you and the rest of our family who are with you. I imagine that all of you are together having wonderful days. I miss all of you very much and keep you in my heart each day.
Love, Kathleen

Another month has passed it's now 2 momths. No matter what they say, it doesn't get better. I know you hear me talking to you and praying for you. 
I really need you to watch over me.
Can't wait till we're together again.
Love you always. Carole

Hi Jimmy,
I can't believe two months have passed since you left us.  You are in my thoughts and prayers every single day. You will always be missed. Love you, Jo

My first birthday without you in many, many years..............
I think about you all the time and I know you hear me talking to you. I need you to keep watching over me.
I will never be the same. I love you today as much as when we first met.
Until we're togethr again.
Love you forever, Carole

I think of you always and keep you in my heart. I send you hugs and prayers.
Love, Kathleen

I need you to keep watching over me. I need you more and more each day. I need to hold your hand again.
I send you my love, kisses and prayers.
Love you, Carole

Today is your birthday and we miss you so much. Every year we would ponder over what gift to get you because you had everything. Yes, we miss the pondering more than ever. The worst is that we won't get to call you to wish you a happy birthday and hear your cheerful voice. 
I'm sure the relatives and friends with you up in heaven will make this a good day for you. We send you kisses and hugs.  Love you.
Love, Kathleen and Gary

Happy Birthday in heaven my sweetheart. I can't wait till we celebrate our birthdays together once again. 
I will love you forever....???

Today is one month since you left us. I hope that you are enjoying the heavenly rewards that you so deserve. Love you and think of you every day.

It's almost 1 month and miss you more each day..............
Love you

You were wonderful man, who worked hard to take care for me, would do anything for me, who made me laugh, was my best friend, who wanted to grow old with me, always picked me up when I was down, who was my world, I'm thankful God sent you to me and I will always love you. I miss you more each day. I will love you always.      Carole

My dear, sweet uncle - Sometimes I just cry because this seems so strange.  You were such a gift to my life. I know that Aunt Carole is lost without you and I wish that I could do something to make it all go away. I love you both very much.

Jimmy,
You will always remain in our hearts,thoughts and prayers forever.

Jim, you were a warm, kind and wonderful friend.  The best friend and neighbor anyone could have.  You are missed everyday and it doesn't seem possible that I will not see you walk down your sidwalk again, that we will not enjoy holidays, birthdays or just dinner together again.  Everything happened so fast and I know that was the best way for you.  You are now home with your heavenly Father where you should be.  

Carole, you know I am always here for you.  I love the both of you like family and always will.

Jimmy,
I think of you every day and remember the good times,your kindness,patience and always listening to us.  I miss you very much.    Love You Forever  -  Jo

As Father Emile said at your Mass:
"When you feel the wind think of Jim. It means he's preparing a place for you in Heaven".
I think of you each waking minute and can't wait to be with you. 
Love you, Carole

Jimmy,

Because you are what you are…………………………………….

If there’s a golf course in heaven – they just received their greatest member.  

If a threesome is looking for a fourth – they just hit the jackpot.

If you have a bad round – the golden sun will still shine tomorrow.

If the sun is too hot – the angel’s wings will create a gentle breeze for you.

If it rains – oh, forgot, THE MAN does not allow rain on that golf course.

If you hit it in the rough – a dove will find it for you.

If your ears start to tingle – it’s us praying you make that birdie putt.

If you worry about Carole – don’t, we’re here for her.  

When you pray for the friends that loved you - please remember us.

When we pray for the friends we loved – you’re the first that comes to mind.

Love ya, Jim.

Tony and Linda

Thinking about you a lot today.  Missing you even more.

Carol, So sorry to hear about your loss, we want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.  Seems like only yesterday we were all hard at work at Western Electric/AT&T.   Jennie & Benny Merlino

My dear uncle... I still can't believe that you are not with us. Having you for my uncle was like hitting the jackpot everyday. How lucky I was.

Jim,
I will always carry memories of a gentle and good-hearted man. May you rest in peace.
Simeon Barron

Mr Henson was a great guy,may he rest in internal peace: I liked him.

What can I say? Jimmy was one of my most cherished friends. He never spoke a bad word about anyone and I know of no one who ever said a bad one of him.  I loved him as a brother and missed him since the first day he moved to Florida. I'll see his smiling face and hear his laughter til the day I die. I love you Jim. Rest in peace.

A friend is someone who is always there for you and Jimmy was that kind of  friend.  He would always listen and never judge you.  We had good times with him and you Carole.  We will miss him. Rest in peace Jimmy.

Your love will live on in all of us.  Miss you.

I will always remember Jim as a gentle and kind gentleman.  The angels in heaven welcome him and he is resting in peace with our Lord. My deepest condolences to Carole and all his family.

Hi Jimmy - Forgive me for not attending the services, but you know why and I know you will pray for me.  I will think of you every day and remember all the laughs and jokes we shared together.  I sent the potato salad recipe to Charlie and he will serve it after he barbecues the leg of lamb.  Thank you for your friendship, understanding and kindness all these years.    Love, Jo

Carol....Just to let you know we send our love and our thoughts are with you, he was a great man and his memories will bring a smile to us all, Mel and Ray

Jim Henson- The Prince- as my aunt Carole called him, was a man larger than life.  He was the devoted husband and best friend of Carole.  He took care of her and she took care of him for almost 40 years.  They were a perfect match from the start and they truly loved each other.
My uncle was the greatest brother-in-law to my parents and he was the greatest of uncles.  He was always interested in all of our lives, never finding fault with us, as if we could do no wrong.  We enjoyed every moment that we spent with him and he was good to each and every one of us.
My uncle had many friends through the years.  He was a people lover and never turned down an opportunity to have a good time and to enjoy your company and conversation.  He was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back and expect nothing in return.
Uncle Jimmy lived his life full of kindness, love, and respect for others.  His faith in God never diminished, even during these last, difficult weeks of his life here on earth.
These last three weeks were filled with so much emotion for him and my aunt Carole.  One minute was up and then it was two steps back.  But through it all, my aunt never left his side.  They took each day, no matter what it brought, side by side, hand in hand, like always.  
Aunt Carole, we know that your heart is broken and your life will never be the same.  What should give you peace is knowing that you can begin and end each day knowing that you and Uncle Jimmy loved each other and that you were each other's best friend.
We will all miss Jim Henson everyday. We will keep our memories of him in our hearts.  And when we think of him, we will smile. We will remember his handsome face and that special twinkle in his eye when he smiled at us.
And yes, Aunt Carole, one day you will hold his hand again and he will hold your hand

To the Henson Family:

I will surely miss Jimmy. He was such a kind and loving friend and I just know he is now with Jesus in Heaven. We will meet again one day, that's for sure. God bless everyone. Love, tim

A lovely tribute to a lovely man.

May you always walk in sunshine, and God's love around you flow;
For the happiness you gave us;
No one will ever know.

It broke our hearts to lose you; but you did not go alone;
A part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put his arms around you and whispered "come to me". With tearful eyes she watched you... and saw you pass away. Although she loved you dearly, she would not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating...hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me that He only takes the BEST. 
-author unknown
love you Jimmy, peace.
