I Miss You Mom
I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I though about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake, with which I’ll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.
The Hall family would like to extend their deep and sincere gratitude to everyone that has shown love through calls, texts, cards and words of encouragement. A special thank you is extended to her care giver; Thelma Moore and the staff of Cooke Bros. Funeral Chapel. Lastly, to Pastor Dwight Riddick and the Gethsemane Baptist Church family thanks for all of the support, prayers and expressions of love during this time of bereavement. As momma would say, Praise the Lord for that!
