Hazel was my grandmom, Mary Melchiorre´s cousin. I believe they came to the US around the same time. I remember the times Auntie Hazel would come to visit Mom Mom in Philly and I would spend time with her. I remember her making very delicious pie crusts. So sorry I missed her passing by two years. She was a great woman. I´m sure her and Mom Mom are having a ball together.

Ms. Hazel was such a cool bird! I met her as a teenager while visiting Nicholas to play video games and hang out... and she was always feeding me! Lost touch with her and the family after H.S., but did get to chat briefly at Nick's wedding many years ago. You will be missed, ma'am.

Condolences to the family.

I knew Hazel since I was a little boy and she was always such a delight. My parents are Brits so it was like having another great aunt in the family but who could visit more often! She was so nice and a fun person too!

Condolences to Hazel´s family. We lived next to each other in assisted living and sat at the same table in the dining room. I loved to hear her stories when she lived in England and came here as a war bride. She was a great person! Love Carol Prether TAL.
