Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

The First North Georgia Missionary Baptist Association extend Condolences and Prayers to the Hawkins Family. Sis. Linda and Family we pray God's Loving arms of Earthly Strength will be Heavenly Sustaining to each of you.

FNGA MB Asso,- Rev .William Tramble, Jr-Mod. - Sis. S. White-Pres. Women's Aux.

Sister Linda Hawkins and Family:

May God wrap each of you in His loving arms and just love on each of you, as only He can do, as you all cherish the memories of Deacon Hiram. He was an honorable Man of God with a quiet Spirit, yet always willing to serve others. Linda, we know that God is very pleased with the way you loved and cared for your dear husband as long as you were physically able. We noted that, even when you had to make the tuff decision to have him admitted to the Nursing Facility, so he could receive better care; you tirelessly showered him with your love, your presence, concern and assistance. You were at his side, several hours of the day, several days of the week. You commuted between Calhoun and Rome, sometimes accompanied by your devoted sister, but many times alone. Beautiful! Our prayers are that God will comfort, strengthen you and your entire family and bring each of you to a place of Peace. May Deacon Hiram Rest in Peace. The Word of God: 1Peter 5:10-11.

Love and Prayers, Norris and Lucy Curtis & Family

Im going to miss seeing him during my ministry visits. Love you all, Vandella Price & Family
