Our hearts were deeply sadden and shocked to hear of the passing of Brother Calvin Hazel. He received Christ as a member of Mt. Zion MBC where his mother is our "Mother of the church" and both his brother are members.One serve as a deacon (Deacon Raymond Hazel).

To: The Hazel and Ingram Families

I was sorry to hear of your loss. My family and I want to extend our heart felt sympathies. We hope the following words will be a condolence to you.



Lean On God
By: Charles G. Turner, Sr.
( Formerly Of Beech Island, S.C.)

In life our love ones pass away
For many reasons we don't understand
Our hearts become heavy with sorrow
Just remember to pray and put it in God's hands

As time goes on there are days when we feel sad
When that happens think of the good times you've had
Lift up your head and carry on
And ask God to heal you and make you strong

Lean on God through stress and strain
And he will surely ease the hurt and pain

With sympathy
