HENRY ENNS

Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

• Dad, thank you for giving me life and my son….and accepting my wife and her children in the family with loving arms. Thank you for supporting all your family members….accepting and working through many different situations (and personalities!) that many fathers would not have the patience for. Thank you for providing a home and all the necessities to your family (through many different economic times!)….hard work that many people can’t understand nor endure. Thank you for trying your best (and doing well for the most part) dealing with family/work/life! through many different decades that required many shifts and turns. Thank you for your never ending sense of humor. Thank you for being a man of integrity and honesty. Thank you for spending time with me on trips, camping, nature hikes, attending my sport games, playing games, golf, etc. Thank you for passing your deep faith in God onto me which allowed me to always have God to speak to and guide me through challenging times. God bless you dad and I know you’re up in heaven looking forward to having your family join you. - Posted by: Ronald Enns (Son) on: May 30, 2023

• “All alone or in twos The ones who really love you Walk up and down outside the wall...” “Oh great, compassionate Buddha! The deceased Henry Enns has ended all worldly relationships  And let go the physical body, that causes and conditions once joined together. Oh Buddha! We pray that You receive and guide Henry to pure, carefree Buddhas' lands; May Henry have no suffering or worries, But rather receive only happiness; May Henry be able to see you, see and hear your Path. Oh great, compassionate Buddha! At this very moment, We would like to urge the deceased Henry Enns:  To put down all worldly desires and have the peace of mind to leave; To contemplate the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha; To cultivate precepts, meditation, and wisdom. Some time in the future, if conditions are favorable, May you Henry take the vow of bodhi And come to this world again; May you initiate the bodhi mind And conduct yourself in the way of bodhisattva. Henry, we are praying to the Buddha on your behalf; May you, under the Buddha's reception and guidance:  Attain all happiness; Tolerate life and dharmas; And never withdraw. Please rest in peace, Or take the vow to come back again; We are all here to transform our endless sad feelings Into the soft chanting of Buddha's names, And to transform our boundless memories Into blessings and thoughts of gratitude.” Keep smiling dad and see you down the road...   “All I gotta do is close my eyes All I gotta do is want your touch Only in a dream can I pretend That our leaves are green again” - Posted by: Richard Enns (Son) on: May 28, 2023
