Tomorrow, Owasso High School class of 2010 will join for an unexpected reunion. We are being brought back together to celebrate the life of one we have loved so dearly. We have walked the halls with Hance for seven years and tomorrow we will go to the place where we last spent time together as a student body. As hard as it is for me to type, it is going to be even harder for me to do tomorrow. But this is not about me. This is about remembering all the laughter and good times we shared with Hance Henrie.
Hance has affected more people than he will probably ever realize and I just hope that we can all strive to be a little bit more like him: carefree, loving, passionate, and genuine. The life he lived is inspiring to us all as we know he had no fears and no regrets.
As we go into tomorrow with heavy hearts I pray for peace and comfort to settle among us. We all know that Hance is in a far better place and I hope that this has struck a chord somewhere. Tomorrow is not promised, so live for today.
I ask that you please pray for the precious Henrie family and for the people attending tomorrow's funeral. May we be moved by the loss of our dear friend and realize that this life is a gift.
Hance Henrie, you are forever in our hearts and always on our mind. We love you.
