To The Hall family
Binky, Nikki, Fat Man (Myron),
I remember when Your Mom The Late Great ,George Ann Hall bought Cory Home in the 1970s, He was surely Fat mans lil brother and you guys loved him as if he were bore from the same womb as the three of you, I know that this hurts you guys real bad, but just know God is Good and he will carry you throught this storm.
Keep your heads up and remember your brother the way you knew him,
be blessed and take care of each other as George Ann would want you all to do at this time.
I love you all,
your flint street cousin

From the first meeting, I knew you had promise. Your ambition, passion, and drive all showed direction. Life is already planned for us on this earth. We all have to listen to the call. Your time was short but planned. We will miss you but will see you again. Rest my dear Cory. Loved ones know that the plan was in place at conception. God Speed.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
