We knew little that morning that God was going to call your name, in life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you; you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

My sincerest condolences to the Williams as we all Skipwith family. I actually never had the privilege to meet Mrs. Williams in person. But due the loving relationship she shared with her brother Earl my stepfather I've heard so many amazing stories in regards to their relationship as well as her cooking! She is truly a beloved member of the family and although we no longer have her in the flesh we are blessed to have hold of all the wonderful memories, stories,love, and meals shared amongst all of us!
Earl, I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family through this difficult time.
I express our deepest condolences on behalf of Ethel Mae Skipwith-Alston and her entire family. She is the eldest and last living sibling of Clarence "Smitty" Skipwith. She now resides in Rocky Mount, NC and will be 100 years old on September 10, 2025. We pray that God grants Hazel's family continuous peace and comfort in this very difficult time. God Bless and keep you all.
Hazel was family to us. Growing up around her, she always greeted us with a smile. As children, we'd look forward to going to Aunt Velma's house for cookouts especially if "Auntie Hazel" would be there because we knew she was bringing Mac n Cheese!! Man, she could make the best! Thank yall for sharing Hazel with us. To the entire family, we love you all dearly and you are in our prayers. With love from Dellie 'Mae', Nathaniel, Tiffany and Pamela.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
