Carol Hallenbeck’s son, Tom, let me know that Carol died several hours ago. She had declined quickly this week from fully in charge of her demeanor. She was suffering from congestive heart failure and was in hospice these last few days at Grady Hospital.
A funeral date is expected to be set later this year in the spring or summer.
Please keep Carol and her family and friends in your prayers.
Rest eternal grant to Carol, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Prayers for Carol Hallenbeck
Our Rector writes:
“Carol Hallenbeck is in the hospital again and she is looking at end-of-life concerns. She is not in pain but has no strength to move herself. I’ll be seeing her tonight to bring communion and prayers to her.
“Please keep Carol in your thoughts and prayers as she processes this time of crisis and decisions. Peace, David+ “
May our gracious and merciful Lord embrace Carol and uphold her during this time. AMEN
