24 Dec Update on Gerald Hallman’s Surgery
We reported yesterday about retired minister Gerald Hallman, who was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. Surgery was performed this morning, Dec 24, around 10 am.
Gerald’s son, Tim Hallman, who is pastor of Anchor Community Church (Fort Wayne, Ind.), sent this note:
“My dad made it through surgery and is recovering in his room. The tumor is worse than initially thought, though it was already assumed to be very bad. Treatment may delay the effects. However the decline in dad has already started and is irreversible. We do not know what the days ahead hold. Your love and prayers have been a beautiful gift to my father and family and myself. We will seek out the most joy and peace in the days ahead as we struggle to adjust to this reality.”
Please keep Gerald and Rozanne, and their children and grandchildren (all of whom live in the Fort Wayne area), in your prayers.

Posted at 21:48h, 25 DecemberMy thoughts and prayers are with you both. It was such a joy to see you at Merle’s Birthday party in 2011 in Roseville for Church on the same Sunday a.m. Although Gerald and Roxie were not ever pastoring at Roseville the family is certainly well known there. God’s strength will endure, whatever happens in the days ahead know that God’s arms are always surrounding you and carrying you through moment by moment–heaven is a moment away–but our love for a parent, friend, pastor, always remains in our hearts. God’s strength be all of yours.
