Sorry Hazel, I meant you are up there embroidering - there is a difference. You always did beautiful pieces and I'm sure you will create an even more beautiful piece with the angels

Aunt Hazel was a wonderful person despite the hardships she had to overcome. She always knew you, loved to talk to people and she had a wonderful mind that she could remember everything-- especially people's birthdates. The memory etched in my mind is seeing Hazel walking from her home to Freddy's store, with her apron on. Back when Felton was a smaller town, everyone knew Hazel when they saw her outside her home or walking to the store. She had a wonderful life with Marvin and Patsy and she never wanted for anything. She will be greatly missed but I feel sure she is up there with the angels busy crocheting something.
