Written by Sarah Winfield: "Early this morning my grandma, Hazel Cobb went to be with the Lord. She was truly an amazing lady…standing at only 4 ft. 11 in., she worked hard her whole life. She was always one of my biggest fans and went above and beyond to make sure I knew how much she loved her "Sarah Beth". The priceless memories she gave me of making fresh plum jam, sugar cookies and doughnuts, little hand written notes sent in the mail that I still have and treasure are things that I will never forget."
