You will be missed by so many of your friends. Your sweet words and kind ways is what I will miss. Sherri

Thank you very much to all that attended my mothers service. The number of you that attended is a true testament to the character of my mother and the love each of you had for her. She is the most caring, heart-warming person I have ever known. Never asking for anything in return and unwavering in her love and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. She not only "talked the talk"; she most definitely "walked the walk". God richly blessed each and everyone of us with His child Hazel. It is going to be hard for all of us but I have learned one thing in my life; "you should never place a question mark where the good Lord places a period". I am so happy that she is now rejoicing with family members and loved ones in Heaven. I know one thing, the fish are bigger and bountiful and the birdies and pars are plentiful on immaculate golf courses.

Hazel was a very special lady. She was an encourager to me. She made me feel special. I can still hear her voice. She will be truly missed, but I'm confident that she is completely happy now. I feel privileged and blessed to have known her. My prayers are with you.

I met Hazel several years ago when Glenn was ill and needed A positive blood donors. It was my pleasure to be able to donate for him. I will truly miss Hazel's smile and warmth that she extended to those of us in the FBC balcony on Sunday mornings. She was the very example of being "His hands and feet". My condolences to her family and prayers for you as you grieve her passing. At least you can rest in the assurance that she is in the presence of our Lord and Savior.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Hazel was a hostess for my baby shower. One of my favorite memories of her is after my son was born, she came to the hospital and brought me a BIG bag of M&Ms! It was an unusual present, but a thoughtful (and needed) gift. She also gave my son a little stuffed dog that I will cherish now more than ever. What a wonderful, sweet, Christian lady she was and even though my heart is hurting right now, I know that she is celebrating in Heaven! What a wonderful friend and an HONOR to have known her! Please know that you are all in our prayers each and every day as we know the loss that you are feeling right now.. God bless you!

I wil truly miss Hazel. She had such a kind, sweet spirit. I got to know her when Glenn was a patient in the hospital and I was one of his nurses. I count it as an honor and privilege to have met her and know her. Thank you for sharing her with us. Hazel once said that Jesus is enough for her and now she is in His presence. Hazel, thank you. In Christ's Love, Sonya Morris

Hazel was always very friendly to everyone at the Forty-Five Plus dance group. I first noticed her, because of her beautiful eyes! She was such a lovely person. She will be missed.

We all loved Hazel and Glen and we will miss her as we have missed Mr. Glen.

Hazel was such a sweet and wonderful Christian role model. We need more people in this world like her. She will be dearly missed but I know she is happy with her family members in heaven. I have been blessed to have known her. Cindy Murphree
