The Hazelwood Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know your family has been in my prayers for a long time now. Take comfort in knowing you have a wonderful angel looking down on you now.Ill never forget the memories I had with Mr. Hazelwood from all the sleepovers to the Sunday cookouts after church, playing wimpy washers and swimming in the pool. He was so soft spoken rarely ever hearing him yell. He was lucky to have two great kids Rachel and Billy who Im so happy to have them as friends. Mr. Hazelwood was such a wonderful man and a outstanding father Im so glad I was able to spend time at his house and get to know him. May the memories you all have with him help you to get threw this time of sorrow. God Bless xox
