Mrs.Hazel was one of the most amazing people I got to meet in my life. I so glad I got to know her for 25 years and that she played such a good role in my life. Not only was she one of my grandmothers neighbors but I also looked to her as a grandmother. I will miss her deeply but it is good to know she is no longer in pain. I love you Mrs. Hazel and may you rest in peace!!!

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord... 2 Corinthians 5:8
My family and I are very sadden by the passing of our beloved neighbor, but we also know that she is no longer in pain. We can honestly say she was very sweet, honest, caring, and was always there if we needed anything. To Mary, Mr. Charles and the family I will continue to pray that God hold you even tighter and also pray for your healing during this difficult time.

I always thought Aunt Hazel and Mother (Estelle) were twins till I was older. They looked so much alike. Aunt Hazel was always kind, supportive and came to visit us in Washington. I will never ever forget her. I am glad she is no longer in pain. My prayer is Mary know that she loved her and the pain will not hurt so much as time goes by.
