"Thank you for being you and thank you for all the scares you gave at Henry’s Haunted House."
"I hope Henry has found you and is giving you high five's."
One member of the public posted this tribute on our Facebook page: "This officer came to my friends house last night. She passed away unexpectedly and he was so so lovely to her mum.
