Although we can not see you, you’re always at our side. Sadly missed by, Your loving wife, Jane, family, and friends Gad's Amazing, Lave Rev. Leroy Hall Dear Friends, Forgetting God is letting the truth of God fade by ignoring Him. In the end, such neglect is unbelief, refusing to believe in God and refusing to believe His word. The safe caring place, the refuge from storms, is forgotten. God becomes like a friend whom you never visit anymore or think much about and finally do not remember at all. This slippery slope takes us far from the rock of our refuge, the God of our salavation. Remember to turn to God for help, for in Him there is rescue, refuge, and peace. Dear Dad, It’s been ten years since you went to be with the Lord. Thank you for all that you taught us. We know that your guiding hand is on our shoulders and you will remain with us forever. You touched the hearts of many and left behind a legacy of faith, strength, love and kindness. We are proud and appreciate how dedicated you served your country as a Chief for the US Navy. Continue to Rest in Heaven for Peace is Thine and Sweet Remembrance is Ours.
