  1. Aunt Hazel was one of the kindest, most loving people one could ever hope to meet. She always had a good word to say about everyone and always had a smile to share. She was the first one to help anyone that needed help. Her love for her Lord and her Family was an inspiration to all who knew her. I know she is an Angel in Heaven looking down on us with that same love and watching over us. Aunt Hazel you will be loved and missed forever.
