Granma Hazel you will always be in my heart.Rest in peace from your norwegian grandaughter
Aunt Hazel was a wonderful person. She took care of us when we were little and always showed and love. I can only strive to be half the Christian that she was. She lived her life in service of the Lord and will be blessed for all eternity for her devotion. To all my cousins, I would do anything to keep you from experiencing the pain you are going through, but she is truly where she wanted to be. Love you all.
Ronnie, Michael and Bobbie Jean our prayers and thoughts are with you. You were lucky to have a great Mom who loved you and cared for you. May God bless you and comfort you during this time.
Aunt Hazel, you will be surely missed by everyone. You knew how much I love you. You were an angel here on earth and God called you home.
This beautiful woman will be missed by her family and friends. She always made herself available when needed and had a smile on her face.
Ronnie, Michael and Bobbie, I'm si sorry for the loss of your Mom. She was such a good person. I will always remember my summers as a little girl visiting with your family. I don't every remember her without a smile on her face and laughing, and I loved her country cooking. Aunt Hazel holds a special place in the memories of my heart.

We will miss our beloved friend Hazel so much. Our sympathy goes out to the family. We love you all.
I grew up with Ms. Brantley in the neighborhood and at church. She was such a kind woman. I can remember her correcting me a time or two as a child, always in a very nice way. My deepest condolenscences to her family.
Michael/Diane and Family – My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I didn't know Ms. Brantley but I've met Michael through Diane (co-worker and classmate). I have no doubt from the nature of her son, Michael that she was a sweet and kind lady. May God continue to watch over you.
