                       THE PASSING OF JEANET HALL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE GARCIA

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, December 2, 2013

  Mr. GARCIA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an exemplary 
Christian whose life of service to both God, and her fellow man, was an 
inspiration to both her children and her community.
  Jeanet Hall passed away on Thursday, November 21st, 2013 at the age 
of 76. Though she is no longer with us, she leaves behind a lifetime of 
selflessness. Jeanet lived for her family, attending to her seventeen 
children, sixty-eight grandchildren, sixty-three great-grandchildren, 
ten great-great grandchildren, three adopted daughters; two nephews, 
two nieces, two great-nephews, one great-niece; and two godchildren.
  All the while, she was also involved in ministry at Bethel Baptist 
Church and served faithfully in the choir, driving the bus for the 
Evangelism Ministry and attending all special programs and church 
activities.
  I extend my condolences to Jeanet's family and friends, but may they, 
as well as all of us, take strength in the selfless contributions and 
sincere love that Jeanet has left for us to emulate.
