And never lost it even in his illness.
As a little boy Henry was drawn to the Lord and walked himself to the local churches on Sundays. As a young man with a family he dedicated his life to the Lord. Henry was a man who represented the Love of Jesus with everything he did. He always had Faith to help anyone who needed it. Serving the Lord even in his final days, making sure everyone that came to help or visit, knew his Love of Jesus and the Love that Jesus had for them. Even in sickness Gods Love shined brighter. He knew when Praise goes up, Blessings come down. Henry Pruitt told us that the only things you could take with you when you passed were the things you gave away spiritually. We are so Blessed as his family and loved ones to know that he took away with him all the Faith and Love he gave away so freely to anyone who needed it. And that the Promises of God are fulfilled in him when the last breath he took went back to the ONE that give it.
