Not sure what to say?

She was the best great auntie before she past away.

I am sorry that such a great Lady of compassionate dedication to her community, state and the nation died at this crucial time she should be resting peacefully at home to give advice and support to the present and the future leaders at all levels of government from her commendable experience in the US political activities. Whichever way we look at it, you are a Heroine. You have won for yourself a political credit as a brave and committed member of the congress and your trophy remains in the...

I would first like to say that the more I have learned about the lovely Attorney Katie Hall the more I began to cry. I am Attorney Hall great-niece (granddaughter of her sister Joyce Green) and I am astound by the things I recently learned. Attorney Hall was an African American woman who, through hard work and dedication to her community, has managed to become apart of American History. I love the woman you were and you've touched my heart in the most amazing way. You have inspired me to...

My sympathy, prayers and love go out to the family. May the peace of our LORD be with the family, Bessie Protho Watkins and family.

My sympathy I extend to the Hall Family. Katie was a loving, kind and humble person. I'll always remember the years growing up with the family at Van Buren Church, and Katie babysitting my sister and I. May your hearts be comforted knowing she now is at rest, and the loving pleasure she shared with us all through her works.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the Hall Family: Katie was a kind and loving person. I remember her from years of service with the Van Buren church, the Gary Community, Washington, D.C. and the world. We are a little better because of the course she took to assure that King's birthday would be stamped in our history books. What a wonderful testimony of a life. May she rest in peace and may we all continue to remember her.

Katie will be missed by many relatives and family friends. I will have the memories of the times when I was small and my brother and I would attend Van Burean church with you all. I remember times going to your house for dinners and much more. After becoming an adult the visits of course changed due to me not living around you but I still remember that smile that you always had. May cousin Katie rest in peace and cousin John and the girls accept that you have gone on to a better place of peace.

To the Hall family,
We would like to express our deepest condolences on the passing of Mrs. Katie Hall. Mrs. Hall was a wonderful lady, always helpful to others in Gary as well as the time she spent in Washington, D.C. Mrs. Hall made a difference in all our lives when she became very instrumental in the passing of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday. We all loved her and will miss her. Thank you Katie Hall's family for sharing her. Mrs. Hall leaves a legacy we all can be proud of. May...
