Rev. Dr. Jackson Hall

September 3, 2021

I am so very sorry for your loss. I like many others have been impacted by the life and now the sudden passing of this great and noble man. Charles may have been small in statue but his character, personality, intelligence, and integrity was larger than life itself. I am thankful for the moments I had to share with him in laughter and fellowship. I am thankful for the times he shared his wisdom and knowledge with me. Grief is a universal language that each person speaks but must experience on their own. Grief has no time table. Take as much time as you need to process your bereavement and to heal your heart. Sadly there is nothing I can say right now that would ease your pain even the slightest. All I can offer you is this simple reminder to hold onto the memories. Charles may be gone, but those memories will last forever. I pray that the peace of God will keep during this most difficult time in Jesus name.
