There's something about Henry! This is the common thoughts of this young man and rightly so. Henry was like a magnet to everyone and anyone, such as his inquisitive nature. Looking back on his life it's like he was packing a lot into what we now know was way too short. Throughout his time on earth he was always looking out for everyone else, such an old soul, a wise little man giving joy and laughter to everyone around him, there's no one like him. We're going to miss you Henry, you've left a big hole in our hearts. FLY HIGH HENRY

With heartfelt condolences from Anthony and Paula Fleming and family ❤️❤️❤️

Dear Henry, You gained your wings too young, so much yet to explore, achieve and do.. more motorbikes to ride, muddy puddles to jump in and many more cuddles to be given out. We will never understand why, the question willbe asked 1000 times but never answered. I know so many brave and beautiful cancer angels that will look after you until its time... you will never be forgotten,you willbe loved for a lifetime... you left such a mark in your devastatingly short life

I am deeply sorry for the loss of Henry. I am absolutely heartbroken for you. No parent or grandparent should ever have to stay goodbye to their baby, and I know that no words will heal the pain.
I will always remember Henry as a brave little boy with a smile that could light up any room, and a cheeky nature that won over the hearts of all who knew him.
His energy and adventurous spirit were contagious, and he always had a way of bringing joy and laughter to those around him. May his spirit continue to live on in your hearts, and may his memory bring you warmth and comfort.I will always remember his adventurous spirit, and his infectious smile.
Fly high, Henry. 👼

I had the pleasure of meeting Naomi as a photography client when Henry was merely a dream, throughout the shoot Naomi spoke of the baby she was going to try for soon and she was so excited! Before long, Henry was on his way and I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Naomi pregnant as well as witnessing and capturing Henry’s birth. Naomi and Scott, you were an incredible pair bringing him into the world on 29th February 2016, despite the challenges. He was born on a leap day, a Pisces Monkey and he chose to be a double Master Number 11 & 22 - a very special little guy! Henry and Naomi’s photographs featured in my exhibition and they even attended the event with a baby Henry of just 7 days old! (Such a super Mumma). Following this, I had the joy of capturing Henry and Naomi postnatally in June 2016 and watching them together cuddling and breastfeeding was such a beautiful experience. Naomi adored her baby! We became close friends and spent many more hours together over the years celebrating Henry’s birthdays at Echidna House and MOPA, Henry’s sisters be born, my first baby be born, going to the Nightjar Market, cafes and play dates, and much more. One of my favorite memories was just a few weeks ago when we had a coffee date at Cafe Go after one of Henry’s hospital visits. Henry asked to try my Chai latte - which of course I loved sharing with him (even though he wasn’t a big fan after a taste)! After this, Henry and I walked to my car and we drove up to meet Naomi & Ochre at her car. During the car ride, we talked about his birth & Henry laughed about how he was ‘really only 1 as I haven’t had my 2nd birthday yet’ being a leap day baby. He was such a delight, such a joy, and looked so well! How this could happen is beyond me. All I know is, he is an angel now, looking upon and protecting you all every second of every day. His soul touched so many and I’m so grateful to know him. Thank you for everything Henry, I will never forget you, always love you and your family, and miss you so much every day. Love Stevie xox

Dearest Naomi and Scott and beautiful girls,
I knew your wonderful boy, Henry , through stories from my daughter, Stevie, and social media posts. I have cried so many tears the last few days as I read tributes and your posts. You are all in my thoughts 💔
One memory I have is the day you hosted Stevie’s baby shower, and while you brought little Zadie, Henry stayed home with his Dad. I remember your amusement at the updates Scott sent via text of him and Henry doing boy things on the farm, as you girls were out with the ladies. It was picture perfect and utterly heart warming. This is how I will remember him 🤍May 02, 2023 10:56 pm
Rest peacefully Henry ❤️
Theo came home from school today and told me Henry wasn’t gone, he is just now a star in the sky and that he’ll always be able to see his mate whenever he wants 💕
Sending so much love to you all,

We are totally heartbroken at the loss of our beautiful, loving and always smiling grandson. He taught us how to enjoy every moment, sometimes in his cheeky Henry way, and be happy and never complain.
He shared with us his enjoyment of nature and loved helping us in our garden. His infectious smile will be missed for eternity.
Nana will miss you in the kitchen helping make our special homemade sauces and Pa will miss the bike rides together looking for minnows under the bridge.
Our little mate will forever be sadly missed. Rest peacefully Henry, you fought one hell of a battle.
