Henry, for the most part, is resting comfortably. Now and then, he is beset with back pain which causes a bit of restlessness in the night. He is sometimes aware of others around him and responds with a "yes", "no" or a nod. He tries to communicate but it is a struggle at times to talk. He periodically sits in a chair while Bonnie feeds him. Sometimes he will sit for a half-hour and enjoys his back rubs.

He has had visitors from all over....Michele Boulware and friend from Marshall, the Hardins from Ft Worth, Welshenbaughs from Rogers, the Greens from Tyler, our cousin Mary C and her husband Frederick from Knoxville, Adele Tavares from San Antonio, kissing cousins, the Taylors, from Ft Smith, Bonnie's church family and, of course, daily visits from family.( I hope I have not left anyone out) We had heard from others who plan to visit in the coming days. With all the phone calls and e-mails, Bonnie and family are busy responding. Son Peter and son-in-law Bobby are staying the week to help.

Many thanks to all of you who have been a tremendous comfort to us. Please visit the "guestbook" and share your remembrances. It warms our hearts knowing that so many of you really care.

We will keep you posted of any developments in the coming days.

Thanks, the Cook Family
