Worth, Neal, Gary and families –
Thank you for sharing Hazel with all of us! She was a jewel and a blessing in my life – as in the lives of so many others. Know that you remain in our thoughts and prayers especially during these days of transition, remembering, and celebrating the promises of Jesus. You are loved!
I was sad to hear of Hazel’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you Worth and your entire family.
Worth, We will be praying for comfort for you and your family. Hazel was a sweet lady that we enjoyed having attending church with at BHBC.

Doug and Rhonda Cook
Worth:
We wish to extend to you and your family our deepest sympathy in the loss of your wife and the mother of your children.
We think of you often when we pass by your former home here in Haw Creek.
Charleen Noblett is a close friend of Carolyn and grew up with her. She lives across the road from us.
Carolyn’s grandfather gave us property next to the ‘homeplace’ where Carolyn spent her youth.
You have been sorely missed in the community.
There are no words that can fill the emptiness in your heart….but perhaps it will help to know others care.
We will see you tomorrow night.
Take care of yourself!
Warmly,
Richard & Carolyn Kelley
To family and friends – My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Blessings and peace. Betty Nelon Rhodes
Uncle Worth, Gary Neal and all,
What a special place Aunt Hazel holds in my heart. I count it a joy to always have been her ‘little girl.’ Her ‘Night, night youngin. Happy night horses’ stills plays in my mind as I remember the tenderness with which she put me to bed when I was little. She was a woman of grace. I thank God for her being an important part of my life.
May you all find comfort in the memories you have of her.
With all my love,
Karen, Aunt Hazel’s ‘Little Girl’
Worth, You are in our deepest thoughts and prayers. You and Hazel have always been exceptional friends, especially while I, Sue, was at Mars Hill. Hazel was such a wonderful person. We will miss her greatly.
With thoughts of you-
Love,
Sue Frink Smith and Martha Frink
P.S. I know that Hazel, Alice and Daddy are having such a good time! -Sue

Mr. Worth,
What a special lady Mrs. Hazel was to everyone who knew her. I have such fond memories and appreciation for the time I got to spend working for you after college. Hazel’s precious smile, gentle kindness, hugs, and laughter I’ll always remember.Mother and I will never forget the love you both expressed to our family during Dad’s sickness and passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy, love, and prayers to you, Gary and Neil, as well as your entire family.

To the Frink family,
I was sorry to read about the death of Mrs. Frink. I am a member of Beverly Hills Church but I do not get there often because I work on Sunday. But when I came to church for some reason, I always looked to see if she was there. Maybe it was because she always gave me a big smile and said she was glad to see me. I will miss that warmth and smile.
May God give you strength during this time.
Helen Rice
Worth, Neal, Gary, & Family,
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Both your mother and entire family hold a very special place within me for the many years for kindness that you have offered to both me & others….It has not been forgotten.
May HIS peace always be with you.
Daryl
Dear Worth and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We so wish we could be there this weekend. When Ruth looks into Kathleen’s eyes and tells her about Hazel she tears up. It is so evident that for that moment she understands.
We have so many special memories. We love you with all our hearts.
Love, Kathleen and Bev
Dear Worth,
I am sad to hear of Hazel’s passing. I hold you in my prayers, and am sure that the love and support you have devoted to Hazel over these difficult years will return to you a hundredfold.
Worth, I was surely sorry to hear yesterday of Hazel’s home-going. You both have been good friends of mine, for many years. It’s too late for me to come there tonight, but I’ll see you tomorrow at the church. May God bless you and yours.
My condolences to Worth and family. She had such a sweet spirit, and was loved by all. She meant so much to my children as they were growing up in the church.
Worth and family; Our prayers and sympathy are with you at this time of sorrow and rejoicing. We know her homegoing is a joy for her but will leave a void for you. God will supply the strength each of us need. Sorry we could not be with you in person but you will continue to be in our prayers. Jerry and Nancy
Nettie & I are thinking of you.
