Not sure what to say?

I was so sorry to hear of Hazel's passing. You might not remember me but I can still recall the times my folks and I went over to Hazel and Glenn's for supper and they played cards. Now they are all together in a better place. Thoughts and prayers at this time. Lisa (Jenkins) Hartman

We are sorry to hear of Hazel's passing.

Pat & Jo Jo had completed the arrangements for Aunt Hazel's 105 birthday celebration party but will not get to celebrate this time. Up until about a week ago, Aunt Hazel's mind was still mentally sharp and her memory good, although she was getting weak, losing her eyesight and losing weight.

The "Celebrate Life service" was a packed house. (She had requested no one wear "black" & the ladies could wear "red" her favorite color). Those attending were from every level & sector of...

Aunt Hazel was a very special person and very

She also loved the color red and said I made an excellent choice when my new RAV4 was "Barcelona Red". She was always one of us kids when we were growing up in South Texas.

Hazel was one of a kind. She loved to talk, she loved music, and she loved her memories. Hazel was a fighter who came back many times from serious illnesses. She was a breast cancer survivor from a time when the survival rate was much lower than it is today. She was an excellent investor who read the Wall Street Journal daily until she was over 100 and lost most of her vision. She was one of the most memorable people I have ever known.

I will always remember my "Great Aunt Hazel" for giving me a left handed china pitcher because I am left handed. :)

She indeed was a "Great" Aunt - one of the first spunky women I knew. I'll always think of her driving to the Valley with Glenn's hat in the rear window and visiting with her at her Edinburg home. Barbara
