I still miss Hazetta everyday. We could laugh about so many things because of her intelligence & wit. I miss laughing w/ her & just talking about things that she could understand better than most others. She was wiser than her years!

Remembering Hazetta today as she left our presence on Earth two years ago to join the angels in Heaven. I think of her often with love, admiration, laughter, happiness, and gratitude for a friendship that was more than half a life time. She lives on forever in my heart and memories.

I cannot believe that it is now almost 2 years since Hazetta left us. I still miss her so much, especially her laugh & unique sense of humor. There will never again be anyone like her in my life.
My heart still aches for all of us who knew & loved her, especially Sakia, Burdell, family & closest friends. Praying for continued comfort & strength.

Someone so special will not be forgotten. Wonderful memories will live on forever in our hearts and minds. I will always remember our talks about family, our running into each other on Mondays at our Maas Brothers, and our monthly luncheons with our retired colleagues. Rest In Peace Faithful Servant. Job well done.

Words can not express the sorrow and heartbreak of losing my dear friend, Hazetta. When I think of her I will remember her kind and loving heart, the twinkle in her eyes, a smile on her face, and her enthusiasm to live each day to its fullest. May her family find strength in their faith, close friends, and one another.

My deepest sympathy, condolences, and prayers are sent to Hazetta's family at this time.
She and I became fast and longtime friends back in our early college days. The memories I have of time spent with her always bring a smile to my face. She had such a fun and generous spirit and one of the best senses of humor. Whenever I visited St.Petersburg she would always make time for me. Her loyal and genuine friendship made a lasting impression on my life.
May God comfort you all at this time, and may she rest in peace in HIS everlasting arms.

Hazetta was unique in so many wonderful ways. It is impossible to describe her to anyone who didn't know her and will be equally impossible to forget her for those of us who knew & loved her.
Hazetta will be missed here during our short time on Earth.
I am so sorry for Sakia, Bur-dell & all of her family that she is no longer with us, but thank God she is no longer suffering. Instead she is rejoicing & enjoying eternal peace.
I pray that as all of Heaven welcomes her home, God will embrace you with His Love & strength.

2nd Cor 5:8 "We are confident", I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. You made it my sister. I will always keep apart of you in my heart. Your "Homeless Mission* will keep forging on. You've touched so many peoples lives especially mine. I love you and miss you. Until we meet again in heaven.

Even though I only new her for six years, it felt like a lifetime. She was an amazing friend (a true friend). I will always love and miss her dearly. You showed real strength and courage through your illness and I know you are resting with Jesus in heaven. As you always said, Ill talk to you later! It was never good bye.
