Today, they stand with you to celebrate love and new beginnings. Each of these men you see here was once where I was—lost, forgotten. Through the kindness of strangers, they found their way back. You showed me it’s never too late for second chances, and I wanted to pass that gift on.

Keep believing, Claire. You’ve made a difference in ways you can’t imagine. I’ll be celebrating with you in spirit.

With deepest gratitude,
Henry”

Tears blurred my vision, but I felt an overwhelming sense of peace. Henry’s life had touched many; his network of kindness had expanded beyond what I ever knew.
