Carole & Bob: Deborah Thigpen, who lives next door to Ms. Hazel, is my daughter, so each time I visited Deborah, I usually saw Ms. Hazel. She was a very sweet lady who seemed to enjoy life and loved her fur babies! I am so glad to have known her. No matter the age, we all miss our parents! Please know you are both in my thoughts and prayers.
