L.D., Tookie and family...I was so sorry to hear about your Dad. Sherrell and Jean were the kindest people, doing the hardest "job" I can imagine. With such warmth and compassionate. Every time. Now they are together again...what a reunion with each other and their friends. Sending much love to you all. Diane Phillips Greene and the entire Phillips family.

Mr. Nunnelley was a gentleman with a smile and kndess to offer those around him. His caring compassionate heart was a gift to those who know him. Even as a child growing up I remember him as he performed his rabbit hat tricks at V.B.S and other times. He and Mrs. Jean in their faithful years at Hazelwood impacted my life. My parents enjoyed their friendship in Sunday School and always had something good to say after their times together. May the God of all peace and grace through Jesus Christ the Son whom He trusted his salvation guard over and keep his family through this time and also those who stood beside him faithfully in his business.

Sherrell was my Uncle. I thought he was the kindest and gentlest man. I didnt see him often as I lived out of state, but the few times we were able to sit down and talk he had words of wisdom that I took to heart and held onto. I will miss him. L.D., and Tookie, Im so sad for your loss. Also for the funeral home staff,or more like a family, my condolences also goes to you all who loved him and cared for him so much. Thank you.
