The Cincinnati Bengals team came to pay their last respects to their fallen teammate Chris Henry who was laid to rest yesterday in Westwego, LA. . Chris’s fiancee, Loleini Tonga, spoke along with a some other NFL players.
Loleini Tonga: Can’t nobody know the way I’m feeling right now. No one can explain the relationship that me and Chris had. In six years of knowing each other — through hard times, good times — we loved each other very much… People say I helped change his life. No. He changed mine.
Cincinnati quarterback Carson Palmer and head coach Marvin Lewis delivered eulogies. Lewis said before the service that Henry touched a lot of people in his very short life.
“It’s a bright story and one that didn’t get to get all the way to the end of it, which is the most unfortunate part,” the coach said. “We’ll miss Chris’ sparkling smile.”
According to the Cincinnati Examiner, Chris Henry’s organs and cornea were donated to needy patients following his death.
