Dear Pat, Andy, Sara and Family,
I will miss Hazel dearly-such a sweet, sweet lady. I will miss our talks, her kind words and her love of family.
Thinking of you all at this time.

Thought of her often, and kind of lost track of us, the past 4 years after our mother passed July 9, 2016. Jim and Hazel were my Godparents and also very, very good friends of my parents, Robert and Bernice Legro.
I was very recently re-acquainted with Mary Anne Feller and had asked her about Hazel. Less than 24 hrs. later Mary Anne informed me Hazel had passed. I was about to contact Hazels oldest daughter, Pat Stathas who Mary Anne had directed me to. Was so sad for you last...

Dear Pat & family,
Condolences on the passing of your dear mom. During this time of grief, may you be consoled that your mom’s “life is simply changed not ended.” I hope that aspect of our faith strengthens you at this time.
In the Risen Christ,
Fr. Marv T Knighton
