Rest In Peace Uncle Henry. You will truly be missed. I remember how Kiki's face lit up each time you entered the room. May you sleep in peace.

My fondest memories of Mr. Torbert will always be our chats! It seemed like you could talk to him about everything and he'd always have a wonderful and postive word of advice--even if it was about his beloved NY KNICKS or YANKEES.. boy did he love sports. He was a "girl dad" before the hashtag and his love was so strong for his girls that it extended to their friends! Thank you , Lea for sharing your Dad with me. His laughs, his advice and his love will always be remembered. Love you all, Lateefah!!!

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
