Hazel became a friend a year or two ago through a Face Book friend. I found her to be a very warm and caring lady. I'll miss getting her letters and reminiscing about the area in Atlanta I grew up which turned out to be a couple of miles from her home. As she wrote in her last letter to me "It's like we were sisters". I'll miss her greatly. I wish fond memories for the family, knowledge she's no longer in pain and in God's Kingdom with a big smile on her face surrounded by flowers.

and as I always signed my letters to her
Collin, arf arf arf she loved that.
I have many beautiful memories of Aunt Hazel. Coming to my house for gatherings and most of all getting Christmas cards with beautiful thoughts and messages. Love and Hugs to you Aunt Hazel❤️.
Hazel was a very sweet and loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who loved her family. I remember that she was a wonderful cook and a dietician at Parkway Hospital. Midway CC was her home church and my husband, Phil Holder was her minister. He performed her husband's funeral when we first came to that church. We last visited her together at the Nursing Home before he passed in 2020 and before C-19 prevented any more visits. Her daughter, Joyce, was also a friend and I have one of her paintings she did especially for Phil & me of a church scene in winter. My deepest sympathy to the family in the loss of your dear one.
Aunt Hazel, Uncle Frank, Joyce, Steve and later Kim, were a big part of my childhood. My Mom , Katherine Chastain, just loved to pop in on them on Weekends. She always carried my deceased sister , Barbara and I.... then later my daughter , Wendy, over there. She and I were letter writing buddies last year or so. Wonderful letters about her love for family and Grandchildren. Tearful writing about how much she missed her beloved two daughters and Uncle Frank. What a wonderful cook and bright charming woman she was. Her character, spunk and creative talents were always an inspiration and challenge to me. A true role model. May she spread her wings as the Beautiful Angel in heaven I know she is now. Shirley Chastain- Beckham and sweet Wendy. [email protected]
