"... We cannot understand why Julia Hall suffered so long. we do not understand why the Lord left her in that condition for so long. But now we offer thanksgiving that her suffering is over. ... Those who knew her are better persons as a result. And the fond memories we have of her will brighten the lonely hours that lie ahead. The memories are of a gentle woman, one who loved very deeply. One who took pride in God's handiwork. She was so exquisite in her appearance at all times..."
