Our families has many good times together throughout more than 50 years. We traveled together to Mexico several times, once on a bus to Mexico City. She was there when our sons were born; there for our son after a bicycle accident at Trinity, and we were there for her when there was tragedy in her family. She was like a sister to me and was God-mother to our sons. Our hearts are heavy as we say goodbye to my dearest friend, ever. Donna and Joe Fitzpatrick

I had the pleasure of being on the Fox Tech faculty with Hazel. In addition,
she was a part of a group of former Fox
Tech faculty members who meet the 1st Tuesday of every month for lunch.
She will be greatly missed. Her warmth
and always pleasant manner will not be forgotten. Blessings to the family~

My sympathies go out to the Brogan family. As long as I can remember, Hazel Brogan is a name I heard around my house. She went to school with my Mom and Dad, Desyree and Bill Scruggs.

My sincere sympathy to Mrs. Brogan's family. She was a wonderful, dedicated teacher. She was my business teacher when she was Mrs. Kratz and worked with her at Fox Tech when she became Mrs. Brogan. Her teaching helped me achieve some of my goals in life. She was a beautiful lady in life and remains a beautiful lady in our memories of her.
