I missed knowing Hazel as well as I would have liked, but from the moment I met her, she put me under a spell. What a loss to everyone who knew and was inspired by her. She was a great lady, artist, and mentor who truly enjoyed her life.

Mama Hazel raised countless girls and boys in Canton and Madison County. She loved us inspite of our imperfections. She had a profound impact on my life that I will always carry with me. May God's grace comfort her family.
