Hazel Foster

A message for Hazel

We knew it was a matter of time until god called your name.

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone.

For part of us went with you the day god called you home.

You left us amazing memories,

Your love will always be our guide

And though we cannot see you

You are always at our side

Our family chain is broken

And nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one

The chain will link again

Shared memories of Hazel Foster

Grandma you knew that I loved you and that I always will. You were the best grandma in the world and to me you still are. I will never forget the fun we had together, especially when we played school and dressed barbie dolls. I know you will still look out for Darcie and I, and in return we will work hard to make you proud of us. Will miss you so much Grandma Hazel. Love Evie and Darcie xxxx

Every time that I smile, Every time that I sigh, I think of your face, And a tear escapes my eye. You were my world, My inspiration and my heart, But when you left me, I thought I would fall apart. You were my best friend, My one true confidante, And that's not all you were, You were also my Mum. I didn't want to live without you, But you would have wanted me to, And if there is anyone I want to make happy, That anyone is you. I would have given anything to have you back, But I know it was meant to be, For you are still watching from up there, And I know you are watching me. I will make you proud Mum, I'm going to fulfil your wish, You are going to see me and smile, That's a daughters promise. Love you always, Marie xxx

A life well lived is a precious gift of hope and strength and grace, from someone who has made our world a brighter, better place. It's filled with moments, sweet and sad with smiles and sometimes tears, with friendships formed and good times shared, and laughter through the years. A life well lived is a legacy, of joy and pride and pleasure, a living, lasting memory our grateful heart's will treasure. RIP Hazel such an amazing strong woman an honour to have known you xxx

God looked around his garden and found an empty space, Then he looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face, he put his arms around you and lifted you to rest, Gods garden must be beautiful he only takes the best!

Those we love don't go away they walk beside us every day. Hazel - you were an inspiration to everyone who knew you and your influence lives on through Marie. You fought until the very end but always with a smile on your face and determination in your heart. Heaven gained an angel when they got you and you will continue to shine down on everyone who knew you. God bless sleep tight X X X

Hazel was the best friend my mum could have ever wished for. We will all sadly miss her, she was always smiling no matter how she felt. She was an inspiration to others a true fighter. Not a day goes by where we don't think about her laugh and her smile. She was like part of our family. We will miss her with all our hearts.

I cried when you passed away. I still cry today. Although I love you dearly, I couldnt make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart, to prove to me that he only takes the best. That's so fitting to my grandma a hardworking loveable person. My best friend, my everything, my shoulder to cry on. No one will ever come close to replacing her. Ever. I love you so much grandma things will never be the same. I will make you proud and live everyday as if you don't know what's around the corne. As you always used to say. It's not goodbye it's until we meet again. I love you xxx
