Hall, Blackmon L.
9/26/1990
| There’s an open gate at the end of the road, through which each must go alone; And there is a light we cannot see, our Father claims his own. Beyond the gate, your loved one finds happiness and rest, there is comfort in the thought that a loving God knows best; May the Lord at this time be with you and bring you comfort, hope, and peace. Rev. Blackmon Hall met the angels on Wednesday, September 26, 1990, early in the morning at 1:35 in Houma, Louisiana, at the age of 94.
