{ The voice of connie} Even from the time we all were kids, this is the one thing that never changed! always that same tenderness in your voice, it's what we all took for granted, we never thought things would have ever turned out this way, and as i sit here trying to word this message trying to keep from crying, over the lose we are dealing with, it reminds me just how quickly things can change! you have always been the rock that has often held our family together, often seeing that we all gathered to do reunions and instilled how important family is, Thanfully you done that for us!! i can hear your voice even now saying you need too all be there, in a voice that can never be made by anyone but you !!so soft, caring, yet firm, and only changing tone a little bit, when as we use the term, getting our hair blew back, mostly used on uncle skeeter!! when he done something wrong!! and usually after the fact!! but that was what makes you so special!! you are going to be missed here with us for a time that will seem like an eternity, to us! but we can all rest i knowing we will see you again!! with out any doubt. but for now we ill have to get by with that !! you are now back with all our loved ones that have left here sooner than we all wanted!! but knowing you are no longer in pain makes it all seem ok!! we love you dear cousin now and forever!! until we see your smiling face again, let that voice ring out all over heaven, it's now the voice of an angel!! love you forever!! now spread those new wings and FLY !!!!!!!!!

I grew up with Hazel. I know how hard it must be to lose a child. The whole family is in my prayers.
