It is impossible to put down on paper, all of the fun and adventures we have with Henrietta and Charlie, in the 70 plus years of our friendship.
She was a great gal who had a terrific sense of humor.
The early years we shared, when the Sullivans and Grefe’s were poor as church mice. We never let dollars stand in the way of great times together.
Later, the trips we shared on Charlie’s boat, where Henrietta was a great sailer together with being a great hostess are some of our best memories.
Our friendship with Henrietta and Charlie and all the kids have been the joy of our lives.
With Henrietta and Charlie and both of our kids together there was always lots of laughter.
We will always miss you and God Bless You Love always, Bill and Grace and the Grefe’ girls.

Mrs Henrietta Sullivan was quick witted with a dry sense of humor. Thanks to her, Mr Sullivan and their amazing kids, I had some of the greatest times of my childhood and teenage years. Throughout the years, I have seen Henrietta at different events. She always greeted me with a smile and we had some wonderful chats. You will be missed, but always in our hearts.

To the Sullivan Family –
On behalf of our dear parents, George & Eloise Heath, and my siblings Georgene, Tom and Sue, I send our love and sympathy to you all. Counting Henrietta as a dear friend was one of the great joys of my mother’s life – for decades, those two dealt the cards around the bridge table with a wonderful circle of women who shared in everything life brought their way. When Henrietta would call Eloise, I’d have my chance to scoot away from doing my homework and run outside to play because I knew mother and Henny would be embarking on one of their epic conversations, reviewing what was going on with every family member and all of the Bridge Club. And, mother so admired how “put together” Henrietta was ALWAYS, even if she was facing health struggles. She was beautiful inside and out. The heavenly Bridge Club has welcomed a ringer. Thoughts and prayers are with the Sullivan Family. Love, Joy Heath
