    MIRA'S EULOGY
    by Pastor Rick Hall,
    (Mira's Grandson)

    Grandma Grey was a wonderful lady and from this grandson's viewpoint, and, having only known her till I was 8 years old (1952), she was a loving, caring individual who endured an abusive marriage by her husband - both to her and to us Hall kids growing up at Grey's Lodge in Sagamore from 1947 thru 1952, but we all have wonderful memories of our Grandma Mira Grey; next to Mom, she was the most gentlest woman on earth.

    One of my earliest recollections was when I was about four standing on a chair in the old kitchen at 7 Pleasant Street in Sagamore, being bathed with a sponge by my Grandma; she really loved us and though we had a bath tub upstairs, she generally bathed us in the kitchen, standing on a chair - it was probably easier for her at her age, being 68 or 69 at the time, to use a chair rather than be on her knees at the edge of a bath tub?

    All your grandchildren love you Grandma, we loved you then and we love you now too. We hope to see you in heaven one day, very soon, especially based on the world situation today.

    Notes:

    From FindaGrave:

    Merle Jeanette Grey Hall is the beloved mother of Herbert L 'Jim' Hall, Jr of Randolph, Massachusetts and Richard H. Hall of Las Vegas, Nevada. She lived most of her life in Sandwich except for a few years in Manhattan, New York City, where both of her sons were born on March 29th, 1942 and March 17, 1944.

    She fell asleep in the Lord and passed into the portals of glory to her Lord Jesus Christ on August 16, 1975 at the youthful age of only 65 after a year of agonizing undergoing chemo-therapy for cancer.

    At 4' 11, (she always claimed she was 5') she was our little loving mother who taught us how to pray to Jesus and to become the men we are today.

    She was born in Harwich, Mass, on May 7th, 1910. She's buried in the Sagamore Cemetery in the plot purchased by our grandparents, Richard Everett (1877-1964) and Mira Sears Grey (1881-1952), who died of cancer on July 8, 1952.

    Our Mother is greatly missed and survived by her 2 sons, Herbert Jr of Randolph, Mass., & Pastor Rick Hall of Las Vegas, both of whom absolutely adored her. She is also survived by her 11 grandchildren - Herbert L. Hall III of Maine and Gerri Hall of Bourne, Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Terri, Susan, Richard and Cathy Ann Hall of South Weymouth, Massachusetts and Philip Charles & Heidi Jeannette Hall of Riverside, California and Andrew James, Nicholas Joseph of Las Vegas, Nevada and Natalie Grace Hall-Aouda of Southlake, Texas - she also is survived by 15 great grandchildren.

    Visitors please feel free to add some flowers and a note to our mother's site; we would be honored to add some to your loved one's sites too.
