Azure you were so amazing. I enjoyed working with you. You were truly my friend. God has a special place for you from the wicked. Rest in peace.

John and Barbara Hodges are keeping Azure and Anna´s family in our thoughts and prayers. We have fond memories of Azure as she was one of our daughter´s best friends while they attend Georgia Southern. Azure was an attendant at our daughter´s wedding and I can see her having so much fun at the reception. She stepped on to the dance floor along and began clogging, holding up her long dress to the delight of all of us. Wonderful memories of a precious child of God. So very sorry she and Anna were taken way too soon. Prayers for all whose lives were touch by Azure Bailey Roundtree. Sending love.
