In Loving Memory of David Henley

The best description of the life of David Henley is to offer a description of the family blanket of flowers adoring his resting place. This blanket of flowers consist of 57 red roses, one for each year of marriage to his devoted wife Fleda Mitchell Henley, who preceded him in death. Nested among the bed of red roses are 7 yellow roses representing each of his seven surviving children. 1 white rose for his eldest son, David E. Henley, who preceded him in death. Adding sparkles of joy to the arrangement, just as his grandchildren added joy to his life, are 19 pink carnations representing each of his grandchildren, along with 23 white daisies representing each of his great-grandchildren bringing elegant grace to this arrangement. 11 yellow spider mums represents the great-great-grandchildren in his life. Hundres of tiny blossoms from Baby's Breath put the finishing touches to the arrangement, just as hundreds of neighbors and friends completed his life.
