Our Prayers and Condolences to Paula and family.
Daniel Sorbel Jr. says
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear loved one. It’s very comforting to know what the Bible says about ones we’ve lost in death. Verses like Acts 24:15 are an excellent example of this: “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Knowing God’s promise that we’ll be reunited with our loved ones who have died is a promise that I hold dear to me. (John 5:28, 29) I know God’s Word can bring you hope & comfort too.
ROBERT LITTLE WOLF says

Dear Paula:
We are so sorry about this happening. We extend our deepest condolences, and hope that you can find peace. Please reach out if you ever need anything.
Rhino says
Don’t know anyone involved with this. But it saddens me to the core that she is so young and had her whole life ahead of herself. This is unacceptable for what is happening to Indian women on reservations. I’m so sorry for your loss and hope that you have the strength to push forward.
Cal and Roxie Wilson says
To the family
There are no words that we can express for your loss but know that we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord watch over you and your loved ones and may he guide you through this very tough time.

Kathy Hall says
I was in Montana for Christmas with my dad, when I heard about Henny missing. I have been praying for her and for all her loved ones. It broke my heart to hear she had been killed. I am so sorry to hear about Henny. I will continue to pray for her family. My deepest condolences. I cannot imagine the pain and sorrow you all are feeling. I pray God’s comfort and peace be with you all.
ab says
My sincere prayer is for Jehovah God (Psalms 83:18) of comfort and tender mercies (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) to comfort your grieving hearts while we await His promise for a new world free of bad people where He will end death…… and make all things new. This is when God’s Kingdom government will be ruling. The one Jesus taught us to pray for in the Lords Prayer .
ab says
(Revelation 21:4,5) is the Bible scripture that promises God will end death…… and make all things new.
Ashley says
My deepest condolences to this family! My thoughts and prayers are with you, I can’t imagine what you must be going through. #justiceforhenny
MrL says
As a mother myself of a young daughter like Henny, this cuts deep down into my heart knowing that she laid out there on that hill. No mother ever wants to experience that. Dear Paula, you are a strong woman, loving mother and you didnt deserve this to happen to you. Henny definately didnt deserve to have her whole life taken from her. I just pray for you in the days, weeks, and months to come that questions will be answered and justice will be given for your beautiful baby girl. Press into God and allow him to put the peices of your shattered heart back together again.. Prayers will be in my heart for you and your family throughout this hard time and ever after.. may Henny truly Rest IN Peace

My prayers go out to you all. I am giving you a poem that was given to my mom years ago when we lost my brother at the age of 15 yrs. Many hugs and prayers to you all
God’s Loan
“I’ll lend to you for a little time,
A child of mine,” He said,
“For you to love the while she lives
And mourn for when she’s dead.
“It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you till I call her back,
Take care of her for me?
“She’ll bring her charms to gladden you
And should her stay be brief,
You’ll have these precious memories
As solace for your grief.
“I cannot promise she will stay
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
“I’ve looked this world over,
In my search for teachers true.
In the crowds that throng life’s land,
I have selected you.
“Now will you give her all your love
Not think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call
To take her back again?”
It seems to me I heard them say,
“Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joys a child shall bring,
The risk of grief we’ll run.
“We’ll shelter her with tenderness,
We’ll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we’ve known
Forever grateful stay.
“And should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we’ve planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.”
“Let the little children come to me and do not forbid them;
for such is the Kingdom of God.” Mark 10:14

I know how much it pains me to know I will never see sweet Henny greet me in the hallway again, so I cannot fathom the sorrow her family must feel. My heart goes out to all of her family and friends. Always remember the joy she brought to your lives. I know I will and I only knew her a short while.
