  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the life of Pamela Gayle Cooper Hall, who passed away on August 1 after 
a courageous eight-year battle with cancer.
  Pamela's life began on December 9, 1951; however, some may say, her 
cancer diagnosis was truly the start of her journey. A devoted 
Christian and member of Salem Baptist Church, Pam viewed her diagnosis 
as an invitation--an invitation to share her journey and lead by 
example. She spent her years in treatment, encouraging others who were 
in similar circumstances, making friends throughout the country in the 
process. Her passion and devotion to Christ made her a confidante and 
leader to many, as she always saw the goodness in others.
  Pam was also a leader in the professional world, as she had a 
reputation for diligence and thoroughness, earning her a business 
management position as well as the position of Director of Finance at 
JME, Inc. for 25 years. Outside of her professional life, Pam also 
taught children's Sunday School and treasured her women's Sunday School 
Class.
  Pam's colleagues became her family, and her diagnosis allowed her to 
inspire so many others. Her life was one of service, grace, and love 
for her family and community, and she will be greatly missed by all 
whom she encountered.
  Left to cherish her memory is her husband Larry Murrah Hall; 
daughter, Amy Hall Jones; son, Justin Lee Hall; her grandchildren, as 
well as many other friends and extended family members.
