ode to henry.

henry rook, son of angie and john ruxlow, passed peacefully in his sleep at his home early this february of 2006. henry was a true survivor. he survived parvo, a fatal disease that effects only puppies. he later survived pancreatitis shortly after recovering from parvo. despite his rocky beginnings, he thrived and lived out many, many happy years enjoying trips to his grandma's house in potosi, missouri. henry possesed an impeccable sense of style which was reflected in his wide selection of sport jackets and sweaters.

here is a picture of henry on vacation in branson, missouri. enjoying a plate of eggs.

we miss you, henry.

love,
porkchop, larissa & jason
