I wanted to say that I am so sorry to hear about your loss and that I will keep you in my prayers. You are all very special to our hearts as Doug was also. I cant remember a time in my life when the Henneberrys were not a part of my life. When our loved ones go on to be with Jesus we can take comfort in knowing that one day soon we will all be joined together again. I just pray now that GOD gives you all peace in this time. Much love.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I grew up knowing the Henneberrys.I was a member of the house of prayer and went to Harvest christian Center a few times.The Henneberrys were like family to all of us and I'm so sorry I wasn't there in your time of need.My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. The Henneberry family has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them at the House of Prayer. Jerry Henneberry married my husband and I. When I had children I took them to Harvest Christian Center and was a member there until I moved to Arizona 6 years ago.They were all more than a ministry to us..they are family. You are in my prayers. May God give you peace with the knowledge that you will be re-united again when Jesus comes.I love you all!
My heartfelt prayers go out to Viki and Michael and Sarah and all the extended family. Doug was a great fighter and a model to us all of courage and commitment to family and most importantly, to the Lord. He will be greatly missed until that day when you will re-unite with him in glory!
Greetings to you all at this sad but joyous time. As you said at the end of the obituary 'Blessed is the death of a saint' — Even though we didn't know you very well – we know your brothers and sisters. We want to say that God will be close to you and as you said in your email God's timing is perfect. Nothing of death is really easy but it's great to know that Doug is healed now and worshipping Jesus. I liked what you said about how God even prepared Doug. We will continue to pray for you all as you go through this time of change.
My condolescences go out to the family and especially viki, who has been the supportive wife she's been. I wish you all peace and strength to move forward. Please know that God is with you and my prayers are with you as well.God Bless!
Vicki,Please know that you and your family have been in my prayers for a long time, and that will continue. Your faith will provide strength, and your memories of Doug's love will be a continued blessing.I went to the visitation Sunday evening but had to leave because the line was too long, and I had another commitment. What a beautiful tribute to a life well-lived.In deepest sympathy,Nancy Brodbeck
I'm sorry for your loss, I knew this man,he was my cousin.
Our sincerest expression of sympathy goes out to all of you during this tough time. We just learned of Doug's death, and regret that we are unable to be present during the visitation or the funeral service to celebrate Doug's life and to offer our personal words of comfort. Doug and I were good friends during grade school and high school, but sadly had not stayed in touch during our middle years….His death reminds us all how fragile and short our time here on earth really is. We should make good use of our time here. He was a good man who surely had more to give to this world…I am sure he handled his illness with courage and a positive attitude. Of that you can be quite proud. Our prayers are with you at this sad time.
I am sorry about Doug,s passing.i rember doug when he was a city bus driver..sending u are thoughts and prayers at this time if lost..
