If I have ever known one person who was a "Christian" in word and deed, Bro. hall was that man.
I am so sorry in the passing of Brother Shug, as my family always called him. Not only was he a friend but he was our distant cousin as my Hall family also descended from John Cunningham Hall. Growing up just up the road Brother Shug was always part of our life. He has preached all of my loved ones funerals and I am so saddened that I was out of town and unable to his. My loving thoughts and prayers to you all. He was the kindest man on Earth and we shall miss him greatly.
Brother Hall was a wonderful blessing to my ministry. I loved his great smile and warm spirit.
So sorry for the loss of a great man. He meant so much to me and my parents..He preached their homegoing and and many of my other family. they wouldnt have had it any other way…now he is reaping his rewards and I know his crown is full of jewels. He was a great man..
Bro. Hall was the ultimate gentleman, we always loved dealing with him. There is no telling how many tomatoes we bought from him over the years. He will be missed, cling to all the great memories!
What a beloved saint you were, Bro. Hall and even though you are missed here on earth, we will all be together again in glory one day. Love and prayers to a sweet family.
Linda and family, When I think of your dad I immediately think, what a Godly man he truly was. When he spoke his voice was so kind and comforting, you actually felt the Holy Spirit flowing through him. I'll never forget that. He touched so many lives throughout his life and I know the Lord said, "Well done my good and faithful servant." Sorry to hear about your nephew as well. May God continue to comfort you during this sad time. Know that you and your sweet family are in my thoughts and prayers. Love y'all…
Dear Family of Pastor Hall,While not having the pleasure of having met your father, I did have the pleasure of meeting your Mother several years ago in Houston – as she helped Rita during a difficult time. I knew then that your family was loving and that while your father was doing God's work, your Mother labored right beside him – and was such a blessing to many – especially her husband and children. I grieve as I just found out about the deaths of your parents in 2011. I pray that as time is passing that your faith is renewed and you feel peace in your hearts as your father is seperated from you for only a short time. God bless each of you …. I love your sister, Rita … and I'm sure her siblings are much as she is … loving due to a great and Godly foundation built by two Christian parents.God bless you and keep you in HIS loving arms until we see Pastor Hall again!Sincerely,Brenda Guill
I want to wish Mom and Dad a happy anniversary in heaven together.
We are so sorry for your loss praying for your family as we celebrate his life he will be greatly missed!!
