2004 God opened my doors with the passion marks that not only stained my skin, but it mainly pierced my heart. I knew from the start that you won my heart. Everlasting companionship as I speak from my lips. Christopher Hall was not small, he was large and in charge of my parts.

The things we feel so deeply. Are often the hardest to say. But I just can’t keep quiet anymore. So I thought I’ll tell you anyway. Hey daddy, I thought about you today. But that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday. And days before that too. I think of you when I’m alone. I often speak of your name. Now all I have is memories. And your picture in a frame. Although you’re with God far away In my heart is where you’ll stay.
Love Khrishae
Parts of me that God instilled, you were there to always heal. My precious friend to the end. Heaven will allow the world to spin and grow again. I lost a dearest friend, however, the future will allow us to meet again.
Love Wins, Shirley Ann, One Love
Daddy I think about you always, I talk about you still as my heart aches. You have never been forgotten, and you never will. I old you close within my heart and there you will remain. I know you will forever be my guiding angel until we meet again. Keep smiling down on me from heaven!
Love Always, Your Muffin Hey daddy, I wish you could speak back, I just want to tell you my heart has been left broken since the day you had to go. The memories I treasure dearly are the tears that still flow. You are in my thoughts every day and that’s how it’ll be. You’re in heaven now, but you’ll always be with me. If I could see your face and hear your voice one more time. Just like before, the day when heaven calls me will be a relief from all pain. I’ll run to you with open arms and we will meet again. Fly high in paradise daddy, you will be truly missed!
Love your Babygirl
You were always my shining star, my special guy, my #1 son, my talented, smart, happy-go-lucky, kind-hearted son. Always wanting to please everyone that you loved. Now you are my Heavenly Angel! Now my star has his wings. You always wanted to take care of me, and you still have a chance. Now I have my two favorite guys watching over me. Christopher Dwayne Hall and Freddie Hill. You knew the love I have for you is unconditional and you loved me with all your heart God said it is time now, and He took you home, so, you can rest in Him now. I know He has a special place for you. Rest, my son. I will miss you so much. Especially your tight hugs and even the wet kisses that you never saw me wipe off of my jaws. Needless to say, I wish for one of those kisses right now. But I know you are in a safe place now. I will not fret because you left me with 15 little Chris’s to comfort me and you will live on in them. You are with your Savior now. I willingly accept God’s will and let you go. Rest In Peace, son. I love you, and I will say farewell for now, until we meet again. Loving you always, Your Mother Dearest
