Alan often spoke of his mom. Even though I never met her in person just from his stories she was such a beautiful soul and inspiration in his life and I hope Alan will write a book because this is worth writing a book her story of how she was able to better her life after fleeing from an evil life that she was not deserving of what a powerful story this woman has and just to read what I read we have to consider ourselves blessed because not everyone have it easy in this world especially running for your life and she conquered that and made something of herself. I pray that in the difficult mins hours days weeks months years, a peace will surround Alan and see him through this rough period. God bless you Alan for your genuine sincere humble loving loyalty to your dear mother.

Dr. Henney was my calculus professor at George Washington University and was one of the best instructors to share her knowledge with students who knew little like me. She will be missed by many for her charm, wit and grace. Gordon Sutherland Creed, Esq.

Hi Alan, Your mother sounded like an extraordinary human being. As an only child that just lost my second parent a couple of months ago, I send you deep sympathy on the passing of your mother. It is a difficult emotional journey from here on out, but you were very lucky to have her into her 90s. Please take care of yourself.

My sincere condolences, Alan, on the passing of your mother. I always marveled at her tenacity and dedication to be knowledgeable about our local community and, especially, local elections. Now, more fully knowing her background, it all makes sense. You were blessed to have each other.

Condolences to you, Alan. What a storied life of tragedy, triumph and accomplishment. We now reside in what was our winter home in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Our first home in Rehoboth Beach was 42 Delaware Avenue. We first met Dagmar, her husband Alan and son, Alan in 1981 as our neighbors. Dagmar was very good to us, even providing us vehicle parking when we needed it. We later sold 42 and purchased 54 Delaware Avenue in 1998, then sold in 2018. Consequently, we knew Dagmar for many years. She was so sweet and kind to us over the many years we lived in Rehoboth Beach. We have fond memories of Dagmar. Earthly time ends, eternal time begins. Memories will sustain us. Ben and Bill

I’m Free

Don’t grieve for me, for now, I’m free

I’m following the path God laid for me

I took His hand when I heard him call

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way.

I found that place at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.

Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I savored much.

Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me

God wanted me now, He set me free.

Lady of Science
To Dagmar Henney
(May 6, 1931 - September 16, 2023)

Lady of science, excellent chess player
and art lover, memorable vernissage’s
talks on music, history or art, always
left us admiring her fervent passion, knowledge, cleverness and kindness
feeling really grateful to be her friend.

We also shared the love for good food,
the sea, or many wonderful friends,
happily chatting several hours about
philosophy, performances, etymology, classical literature, clothing or news;
our encounters were always joyful,
even when odd circumstances framed
our lives in perplexing sadly situations.

Sharing her tenacious temperament
advising tenderly with a soft voice
to keep a promise, not only because
it’s an eternal secret, but for the sake
of its infinite exponential blessings,
Dagmar offered the best of herself.

Thanks so much dear Doctor Henney
for your gifts an honorable friendship.
