I will always remember Kendall as a fine upstanding honorable farmer. He always had such a friendly countenance to me as a child growing up with his children. Always there to help my dad William Hazelwood with many things and the hay baling. My condolences to all of you and to Joyce my friend as a child and neighbor and to Jerry for all of your care and compassion to my mother and father as they aged in place on the farm

I just wanted to write and tell you how much I loved you and will miss you. You were a WONDERFUL big brother! I have a lifetime of memories of the good times, teasing, serious example of integrity, hard work, and honesty you gave me. We were so blessed with the Christian heritage of Mom and Dad and the closeness we four were given. As we step one by one into heaven, because of Jesus' sacrifice, it just makes it seem that much more precious. We all mourn but not without HOPE!! I will see you soon. Gayle
