Two reader comments about Henry Thompson Jr.
I will always love my brother. I pray that the individual who took his life realizes that it was wrong and asks god for forgiveness. Remember, you can always get mad at someone and yell at them and make negative comments to them. BUT remember, once you take a life you will never be able to apologize to that person. So, with that being said R.I.P. Hank. I love you!
Love,
YOur sister, Felicia
