Dear family, Brother Hassie will be sorely missed by many people. He was indeed a great inspiration to both Tom and myself in the short time we were privileged to know him and will forever be in our memories as long as we remain. Our sincere sympathy goes out to you all, the Corum family and our prayers for comfort that only our heavenly Father can give. We love you and we loved Brother Hassie but God was ready for him to come home and rest. Heaven is even sweeter now.
