Hazel was a wonderful woman. She always knew how to put a smile on everyone's face. She was one of the most thoughtful and sweet people I have ever met and I will always remember that I love my job because of residents like her. She will be greatly missed by all of us. My thoughts are with the whole family.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. My mother, Lurana (Stone), grew up and graduated from Frankfort High School with your mother. I understand they were good friends, spending time at each other's house. I know they lost contact over the years after high school, until my mother moved to Skowhegan to be closer to us. Your mother would visit with my mother and talk about the "old days". I was so glad to meet her. A very nice lady.

Dan and all family, Your mother was the sweetest person I have had the privelege to know. I'll never forget when she called to see if I knew where she could get her hair fixed. What a darling. My thoughts are with you. Judy from Golden Pond.
