Although I never met Mrs. Hall, after reading the obituary I know where you, Nancy, got your compassionate heart: from your mom! It's obvious your mom was very industrious (also like you)! Your mom is leaving behind her legacy of a daughter who cares deeply for others. Family: remember and cherish all the good times you had with Mrs. Hall. We will pray for comfort and peace for all of you.

Dear Hall Family, I was so sorry to hear of Mrs. Hall's passing. Even though it has been over 40 years since I have seen her, I still hold fond memories of the times I spent in your home. She is at peace now with our Father. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love to all, Barbara Petrich Coker
