To the Hall Family:

With all my heart I share with you during the loss of Mr. Hall. God gave me a “Prayer Partner” more than twenty years ago and he was truly dedicated until the end. I miss him dearly. But, I am thankful that I was able to share one last laugh and one last prayer with him; although I had no idea that it would be the last time. I know that my “Prayer Partner” is resting peacefully and will continue to look down upon me from above. I encourage the family to just continue to “Look to the hills from whence cometh your help…” Psalm 121, because earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

Bro. Hall will forever be in our hearts and memories. He was very jubilant at all times. We will miss his acts of kindness, his prayers in church service and his laughter. Remember, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." Continue to celebrate his life and love within your hearts. "Look To The Hills From Which Cometh Your Help."
