Our sympathies to the family of Henry Ens.g We knew Henry and Susan for many years. He was a true cowboy with a twinkle in his eye and a joke on his tongue. We shared many meals together and memorable times. Sorry we are unable to attend. The Taylors, formerly of Lethbridge but Saskatoon at present.
Henry was a great man who was loved by many and he will be missed. We will not be able to attend as we will be away but our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Bob & Audrey Waddle (Research Station)
Dear Scott, David, Karen and Family, May all your wonderful memories of Henry get you through this difficult time. I remember going out to his barn, dancing with him one New Year's Eve and taking a trip to Waterton where we laughed a ton. We are thinking about you all and wish we could be with you on the 9th. Love, John, Nikki, Jack & Noah
