We, the members of the Eastern High School Class of 1968, are so very saddened to learn of the death of Henry Wells. Our circle of classmates has once again been broken. When we gather again as classmates, there will be an empty spot at the table as Henry will not be with us. Although this is a somber time for us, we see beyond our sorrow and look back at fond memories that we cherished with Henry during our 50th Class Reunion. As classmates, we pray for peace and comfort for Henry's family to whom we extend our deepest sympathies. Know that we all share in your sorrow and that we will continue to keep you in our thoughts and lift you up in our prayers. Eastern High School Class of 1968
