Linda Hazel Obituary

Just wanted to say that my aunt Gail will be missed dearly. I did not get home often but when I did visit her friendly smile was definetly comforting. I will also keep my uncle Ricky and all the children in my prayers.

Always remember that jesus is there for you. I will keep your family in pray.

To Linda Hazel Family

May God continue to Bless and Keep you during this time of bereavement. Gail and I attended Middleton High School together -She will always be remembered as a friend who greeted you with a smile, hug and words of encouragement.Tami Snipe-Charlotte,NC

To the Linda Hazel family,

It is so hard to believe that Linda is gone. She has touched and influenced so many lives. . . "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you," So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" Hebrews 13:5-7

Sincerely,

Linda, whom I know simply as Gaile, from elementary school through high school and beyond has represented the embodiment of beauty, brains and benevolence. Very happy to have known her; Sure, that all have been blessed in having her these many years. Positive she passed the essence of her being on to her children, and confident the rest of us smile in memory of her.

To the Heyward & Hazel Family,



Sincere sympathy to the family, Graham AME Churh and especially to the YPD Department. Know that God is Able and he makes no mistakes. You are in my prayers.

To the Family of Linda Hazel:

It is with sorrow and regret to hear of your loss. Linda was a very dear classmate at Middleton High School,Class of 1978. I will cherish these words she wrote in a yearbook, "Remember me and I will remember you".

May you all find peace as you travel through this sad time.

My prayers go out to all of Gayle's family and especially her children. Never, ever forget how much your mother loved you. You will remain in my prayers. May God strengthen you in your time of anguish.

To the immediate familes: Keep the faith.

FROM THE HEYWARD SISTERS AND FAMILY

I am sadden by the news of my high school friend; my deepest sympathy goes out to her husband, family and love ones. She was a very special person who we all will miss. GOD BLESS.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Gail is the kind, sweet person that will never be forgotten. She will be sadly missed. My prayers are with all of you throughout this time of bereavement.

Every once in a while some of us are lucky enough to develope life-long friendships. I wasn't one of the lucky ones. I was blessed. Blessed to have as my life-long friend Linda Gaile Hazel. We met in the fall of 1978 on the campus of Newberry College, our Alma Mater. We roomed together, were in band together, and sang on the gospel choir together. Gaile used to say it was OK that the choir didn't have many male voices "because Hamberg sings bass you know." She had a sense of humor that was unexpected and an infecticious laugh that accompanied a smile that would light up the dimmest of spaces.

Throughout the years we always kept in touch; never being able to synchronize a meeting even when we were in the same city or town. But she always managed to deliver the right words of comfort and joy when I needed them most via card, phone call or email. I'll miss those correspondences that always seemed to arrive at the right moment to brighten my days and light up my life.



To Ricky, Lonnie, Vera, Ms. Pat and all of the Heyward/Hazel family, although I am unable to be with you physically my thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of berevement. Take comfort in the knowledge that Gaile is walking through those pearly gates to be with her daddy and our heavenly Father. And, Lawrence, she's bringing you your Sunday paper when she comes in.



Gaile, you're singing in God's choir now. Save me a space in the bass section. I love you and miss you. You'll forever be in my heart, my life-long friend.



Loving you all,

Hamberg

To The Heyward/Hazel Family

Gail, you have gone home to Heaven, Oh so so happy and so bright. There is a perfect joy and beauty that is evelasting. All of your pain and grief is over. You are now at peace forever, safely home at last...

Aunt Linda will truly be missed her friendly smile and kind words will always be a blessing to those she knew and loved.

To be absent with the body is to be present with the Lord. May God continue to bless you in your time of sorrow.

It was truly a joy to work with Linda. I will miss her smiling face, her positive outlook, her willingness to help, and especially her sense of humor. She touched alot of lives and will be greatly missed.

To the Hazel and Heyward Families,

My prayers are with you during this difficult and sad time. I was shocked and saddened to hear of Sis. Hazel's passing. She was truly a wonderful and sweet spirited person. May you rest in the comfort of knowing that God is only a prayer away. My prayers are also extended to the Graham AME Church family, especially the YPD Ministry. Keep your faith in God and He will bring you through.

To the Hazel and Heyward familes, The days may seem long and the nights unbearable but stand on Gods words and know that he will never leave or forsake you. I am living witness that God will not bring you to anything that he will not bring you through.

To the Heyward and Hazel,



May God continue to bless and be with you in your time of bereavemnt. We will be praying for you during this difficult time.

To the Hazel and Heyward Families: My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of great loss. It was a pleasure and a priviledge to not only know Linda, but to have been given the opportunity to work with her. It is with great sorrow that we will all miss her.My God open his arms and keep Linda close to His heart. Sincerely, Terry Clarkin and family

I AM AN EMPLOYEE HERE AT MUSC AND HAVE SPOKEN TO MS. LINDA NUMEROUS TIMES BUT PHYSICALLY NEVER MET. BUT A LIKING TO HER FROM JUST PHONE CONVERSATIONS. TO THE HAZEL FAMILY I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT GOD ONLY CHOOSE THE READY ONE AND NEVER MAKES A MISTAKES. SO TAKE IT AS YOUR LOSE AND HEAVENS GAIN.

"God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He DID promise "strength" for the day, "comfort" for the tears, and "light" for the way. If God brings you to it, He WILL bring you through.

I read the e-mail from Barbara Hamberg and felt the responsibility to response. Our prayers go out to both families.

To the Hazel and Heyward family, my prayers are with you all during your time of bearevement. My friend Snookem when ever you need to talk to someone I am there for you. I can't say that I know what you are going through but our friendship is so strong when one hurts we all are hurting."For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day:and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:6-8. Mrs. Gail is now in a better place.

To my sister-in-law I am going to miss you,espeically when I come home to visit, we would have so much fun. I often think about that boat ride that you convinced me to go on it was some much fun. And now you are gone. It's going to be so strange to come home now and not be able to go on our late night run(smile).

Linda Gail Hazel I will always love and miss you dearly.
