How our family and hundreds of others loved the Pedigos! Henry and Joyce were sterling examples of how to live, how to worship, how to treat your fellow man, how to be a beacon to the world, how to raise incredible children, Mike, Mark, and Terry, how to love each other, and most of all, how to love God. They accomplished all of this without a second thought - made it seem second nature because it was second nature to them. We rejoice in Henry's life and in the knowledge that he is united with his dear Joyce and his wonderful son, Terry.

Henry was such a beautiful person. Always had a smile on his face and those beautiful blue eyes. He will be missed by many! God bless his family as they go through this difficult time. At last he is with his beautiful wife, Joyce! We love you!!

My ministry at Central Baptist in Port Arthur was enhanced over and over again by Henry, Joyce and their boys. Few families, in my life time have had as much an impact on my life as have the Pedigos. My little travel trailer would be out of place on the Golden Street of Heaven, but my memory of Henry hooking it up and taking it to the lake will remain with me forever. To Mike and Mark, the legacy is now yours. Carry it on as did your Dad and Mother who left it to you.

Mark, Mike and Family, Hope that you find comfort in the fond memories of your Dad in the days to come. Sorry that I never got a chance to meet Mr. Pedigo. Sounds like he was a special, God-loving Christian.

Mr. Pedigo growing up with his sweet wife and Mike, Mark, and Terry. Terry and I went to school together and played sports for Central Baptist Church. The Pedigo's were like a second family to me. They would take me to their farm and taught me how to shuck black eye peas. I know everyone that knew him and his family will miss him.

I only got to know Henry for a short time but he and his wife were loved by their church family at FBC. I got to visit him at the nursing home and he was such a blessing. I am so thankful for the prayer war mi us try that he and his wife started at church. I am sorry for us that he is gone but happy for Henry to be "home forever".
