I spent many hours with the Cooks while growing up and noticed Hazel Cook was a caring and loving mother. She loved to serve others and was very giving of her love to others.
I extend my prayers and sympathy to Dawson, Tom, Sally, Roger, and Robert.
Dear Mr. Dawson and Family,
We express our sympathy and ask for God's blessings and comfort.
With Love,
Chris, Liza, Fenley, Henry, and George Wright
Dawson and family,
It seems like yesterday that Norma and I moved across the street from you and Hazel... nearly forty years ago, now. It was our privilege to be your neighbor. You have our prayers and sympathy for your great loss. We always enjoyed Hazel's beautiful smile and warm character, and it was a treat watching her tend to her roses through the years, which she was quick to share with Norma. Heaven is more radiant with her presence. I am sure that she was greeted by her Lord and Savior with the words, "Well done, my good and faithful servant!"

Sally and Tommy , I was so sorry to hear of the death of your mother . My sympathy and prayers for your family. You were two of the finest young people that was my privilege to teach . The influence of a fine Christian lady was shown.
She was one of the FINEST CHRISTIAN LADIES I've ever known. Many GREAT memories.
Hazel was a dear, sweet, Christian lady. We will miss her dearly but are certain of her reward.
