Sorry for your loss Tommy and Family

I have so many fond memories of my Great Aunt Katherine. My grandma, Betty Edwards and her gave me numerous home perms at the kitchen table and I must say they were always awful. They always told me the next time would be better.. My Aunt Katherine always told it like it was and I loved her for that. I couldn’t imagine her any other way. Her and my Grandaddy used to bicker back and forth all the time. You would have thought they were the married couple. She will be greatly missed. I am so glad I was able to see her a few weeks ago. God blessed me with that beautiful moment to see her one last time face to face. RIP Aunt Katherine., till we meet again. .~Love always, Tammy Lynn

For all the members of the Hall family, our heartfelt sympathies go out to you during this time of sorrow. For over 30 years, we have been privileged to share special occasions, events and memories with your family members, including getting to spend many hours with Katherine on many such occasions.. Over time and due to your extended Southern hospitality towards us, we came to feel like a part of your extended family. Mrs Hall was to us almost like our own absentee mothers each and every time we would meet. In fact, I still remember her sharp reproof of me for something I did (or said) that she disapproved of. I appreciated that correction coming to me as a sign of her regard (if not affection) for me., As the years passed and her health became more frail, it was heart wrenching to see her becoming less able to function as the matriarch she once was. I knew from my own personal sad experiences with both my own mother and mother-in-law how her gradual decline inexorably continued to rob us of the great wit she shared with us when we first met. Perhaps of all the ways to experience the separation of death of a loved one, this way is the most crushing to be forced to endure. Karen and I will continue to remember all of the remaining members of your family in our daily prayers as you continue to cope with her absence. The greatest comfort I can share with you from my own experiences is the assurance that Katherine Hall is not suffering the frailties of her physical body any longer. As fellow believers in Christ, we will look forward to that time when we will be able to see her again in Heaven. Until then, we can only continue to thank God for blessing us with her friendship during or brief times together here on earth, and thank the Hall family for sharing her with us .

My sincere condolences to the family at this difficult time. May you all seek God for comfort, peace, strength and support (2 Cor 1:3).
