Winifred Moon Obituary
WINIFRED HAZEL MOUNT MOON
1927 - 2007
She was born in Host, Alabama on October 5, 1927. Hazel was a talented businesswoman that owned her own retail shop (The Shirt Shop) for 20 years. Her real passion was fishing with her husband and grandchildren. She was a wonderful wife, mother, nana and a special blessing to her entire family. She had a genuine love and compassion for others and was always there with a smile, a joke and a helping hand.
She will remain a cherished memory to her loving husband and best friend of 61 years, Lloyd C. Moon; her children, Lloyd C. Moon Jr., Lisa A. (Timothy) Carter, Deborah Moon and Denise (Michael) Tucker; her grandchildren, Joshua (Jennifer) Tucker, Jason Tucker, Autumn Moon and Lloyd C. Moon III; and cherished friends and family members.

Visitation will be Tuesday evening from 5 - 7 P.M. at the funeral home.
Pallbearers will be Joshua Tucker, Jason Tucker, Mike Tucker, Tim Carter, Jerry Smith, and Frank Shields.

She was dearly loved and will be sorely missed by all until we see her again in heaven.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made in Hazel's name to Milestone Baptist Church, 3800 Pine Forest Rd., Cantonment, FL 32533 to be used by James and Holley Carter, Missionaries to Australia to further the kingdom of God.

The loss of a loved one is never easy and the feeling never goes away, we just learn to live with the feeling because we know that there will be a day when we will reunite in heaven and oh what a GLORIOUS DAY it will be.
I know deep in my heart that Aunt Hazel is in such a glorious place and that it's now her time to rest. She had done what GOD sent her here to do. We know how hard it is to let her go but it's the memories of her we need to charish.
We love you and miss you Aunt Hazel!

Aunt Hazel was one of a kind. She was so sweet and always so loving. When it came to summer vaction it was time to go to Pensacola Florida to visit, with Aunt Hazel Uncle Lloyd and the family. I have enjoyed that time of visiting it was always neat to see Grandma and Aunt Hazel together and always woundering if my sister and I were going to have that bond together as we get older. I miss Aunt Hazel very much but I think of her being with my grandma and I know she is fine. I love the moon family very much. Love to All Tracee'

Dearest Family:
We love you all and understand your pain, for we have also lost someone who we really loved and cherished. We hope that the poem that we sent to you will have been of some comfort, for it was to us. Remember that your Mother is in a better place and is looking down on us all with her sister, mother and father to guide us as ANGELS on assignment.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Denise, Mike, Josh, Jason, and Jennifer,
Your mom (grandmother) is in the presence of Holy God. She is looking into His beautiful face. I'm praying He will wrap His loving arms around you and provide an abundance of his strength and comfort for you from now until you meet her there.
