Alas, my brother…!

The Worshipful Master, Wor. Bro. Collins W. Yeah, Jr.,Wardens, Past Masters, Officers, and Brethren of Rising Sun Lodge No. 5, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, Republic of Liberia, bow in solemn reflection upon the passing to the Grand Lodge Above of our distinguished Brother, Most Worshipful Brother George E. Henries, Past Grand Master of Masons, Republic of Liberia.

With heavy hearts, yet in humble submission to the will of the Great Architect of the Universe, we extend our deepest condolences to the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Masons of the Republic of Liberia, to the family of our departed Brother, and to all Brethren within the Liberian jurisdiction who now mourn his transition.

MWB Henries was a shining light in the Craft, a Brother whose leadership, devotion, and fidelity to Masonic principles embodied the true spirit of Brotherhood. His footsteps in the quarries of Masonry were guided by the plumb of uprightness, the level of equality, and the square of virtue. He served the Fraternity with distinction, wisdom, and humility, uplifting the noble tenets of our ancient Institution wherever he labored.

Though our Brother has been called from his earthly labors, his work remains immortal in the hearts of those he inspired. His tools are now laid down, but the edifice of character he helped to build shall endure through time immemorial.

As we mourn his departure, we find comfort in the assurance that he has entered that Celestial Lodge above, where the Supreme Grand Master ever reigns, and where faithful Craftsmen find eternal refreshment.

To the Grand Lodge of Liberia, his beloved family, and all Brethren of the Craft, we extend our fraternal sympathy, love, and prayers. May the light of the Great Architect guide and comfort all who grieve his passing.

Alas, My Brother.

Bro. K. Edward Norman, Jr.
