Augusta won't be the same without "Aunt Mazel" there to take care of so many family things. For many years family things and extended family things revolved around her and her home. She will be missed by all of us who knew and respected her. She is in a better place and that place is made better by her presence there. Sympathy to all who mourn her passing.
