Cecil and Howard, We will miss Aunt Hazel very much It wont be the same going to Charleston without stopping in to see her. If I had known sooner I would have tried to make it up there.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dearest Cousin Cecil, Margaret and all the Blackmon Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at the difficult time. My Aunt Hazel was a great lady. So funny and jovial. A great joy to know and to be around. I wish I could be with you to help ease your burden. My mother, Mary Burdick, and Aunt Hazel shared many fond memories from their childhood. Mom was lucky enough to visit a few years ago with me and we were able to see Aunt Hazel and other relatives and to visit some of her childhood places (her old home, town, etc.). She will miss Hazel a lot. We love you and please share our thoughts with everyone.
Love,
Carla Austin (& family)

Dearest Blackmon Family,

I am so sorry for your loss.

The one time I met Hazel, I met a most gracious woman that left an impact in my heart. I am so glad I got to spend that day with her almost 20 years ago.

May I please share the following poem with you. I think it is beautiful and should be shared.

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.
