We do not mourn as those with no hope, for we know beyond doubt that Jess is with His Savior. However, those who love him on this earth surely do grieve his passing. Mr. Jess Hall is loved and respected by countless people, and I am among them. I am blessed to have known Mr. Hall for most of my life. I will miss him, as will my sons. His impact on this world will not be forgotten by those who remain. May God bless and comfort all of the family and friends of a humble and great man.
