    Sandy, Ed & Roberta and Family,

    WHAT a testimony your mother gave to all in her last days! Certainly, her hope in these last days were a culmination of the decades of hope she found in Christ . . . and now, she is rejoicing in her faith being made into sight.

    My thoughts and prayers have already been lifted for you in these last several days and will continue in these days ahead.

    Grace and peace from the Lord to each of you beyond any measure you could ever hope or imagine!

    Terry Frizzell

    We enjoyed reading your mom’s obit. We would like to have known her. Even though we know she is in Heaven, we also know that you will miss so much.

    Sandy, Ed and family:
    I enjoyed how active Hazel was, involved in many activities around Brandon Woods. She always took time to say hello or give me a friendly little wave at the front desk. Her smile and her friendship will be missed by many of her friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you journey through grief.
