Dear Carol,
Stephany Hall (NNHS '68) is my good friend and fellow classmate. She
gave me permission to forward this to you for the newsletter. I spent
many happy hours in the Hall home on 60th Street. Mrs. Hall was like a
second mother to me. She was a lively, vibrant woman who always made me
feel at home among her brood of six children. I will miss her.
Thank you,
Chris

Chris, I'm so
sorry I missed running this earlier. I remember reading the account in the
Daily Press on December 6, but did not recognize the name or make the
connection. I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend; thank you for
letting us know.
From Stephany Hall Williams ('68) of VA - 12/05/07 - "Ellamae Hall obituary":
Hello Friends,
My mom passed away November 30. It was very sudden, and she went to Glory very
peacefully and gently. I believe the obituary attached is from the Clifton
Forge paper, however there will be another one in the Daily Press on Thursday,
December 6th.
A memorial service will be held at West Hampton Baptist Church Chapel, on
Saturday the 8th at 10 am. Burial will follow at Peninsula Memorial Park
cemetery, and a fellowship for family and friends will begin at 1 pm at the
Poquoson Community Center on Odd Road.
I will get back to you all soon, as you might expect it has been a very busy and
draining time, BUT the Lord is faithful each day with new and tender mercies.
Love to you all,
Stephany
Stephany, I am so sorry to learn of your mother's passing. Although I didn't have the pleasure of personally knowing her, she sounds like a wonderful woman.

Amazing Grace
Words by John Newton, 1779
Amazing grace! (how sweet
the sound)
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promis'd good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call'd me here below,
Will be forever mine.
