See Condolences

I just found out about Hazel. I am so sorry. We worked together and was a dear friend.

We are praying for God’s peace beyond all understanding to each one of you. Hazel was such a beautiful lady inside and out. Always letting her light shine. She was a very special cousin.

Karla and Kim, Sharon and I pray that God will comfort your family’s hearts and want you to know we love you. Hazel was special and will always be remembered.

Hazel was a classmate of ours at Parker. A wonderful and beautiful person. She will certainly be missed.

Hazel was truly like a grandmother to me. She was the sweetest, most loving, and gentle lady I knew. Always smiling and discussing how proud she was of her girls. She and Charlie truly were a match made in heaven and she was a true earthly blessing.

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

We are sorry for your loss, sending prayers for the entire family. Dale and Melissa McKinney

Karla and Kim: so sorry to hear of your beautiful mothers passing. You both are in our prayers for comfort, strength, peace. She has her Angel wings now. Fly High Mrs. Hazel.
