You can read what you want Peace after this loss Our sincere condolences to Karsten and the rest of the family on the loss of Hazel. Though Sandy and I have lived far away in Texas, we both remember you from NUMS and Miami days. May you find peace after this loss of a wonderful wife and mother and doctor.

I just learned of Hazle's passing from Dr. RD Hall, who was kind enough to send me this obituary. Hazle and I were in the same residency class at MCV and she was a friend. We had a close residency group and many of us would find time to meet for dinner, and talk of old times, at some point during AAD meetings. I have fond memories of that group and she certainly was a large part of that.

Hazle was a sorority sister of mine at Northwestern University. We met freshman year, when we lived on the same hall in our freshman dorm. I saw her last about 10 years ago when some of us from the class of 1969 met in DC. Karsten accompanied her, and all of us had a great time. She was part of a Facebook group of fellow AOPs from Northwestern. We just learned of her death from an enterprising fellow sorority sister, and we all are devastated. We enjoyed reading her beautiful obituary...

Dr Konerding was my doctor for over 20 years. We were not too far apart in age and always talked about our kids and grandkids. It was a pleasure to see her. I can still hear her heels clicking down the hallway coming to my room. She was a great lady. God bless to the family. Julie Matthews

Dear family of Hazle- I am so sorry to learn of her passing- my deepest condolences. We went to NU together both staying in Willard Hall as freshmen and then, both pledging AOPi. I´m sure we played hundreds, if not thousands, games of bridge during that time. I don´t know whether we showed any improvement but we had a lot of fun. After graduation, I don´t think we met again until a reunion in Evanston and I was very impressed with her achievement and determination, and yet, the same...

My condolences to Dr. Konerding's family, friends and others that knew her. She was my Dermotologist, as well as my daughters. She diagnosed my Melanoma, and most likely saved my life. She will be forever in my heart.

Oh Julia- when I came to see you today I had no idea about your mom. My daughter is neighbors with her and shared that with me tonight. I'm just so sorry for your loss and for all of us in this community, she was amazing and inspiring woman! Thinking of you and your entire family Boodie McGurn

Dr Konerding was my doctor for 30+ years. Can't find anyone with such a nice patient/doctor relationship. My condolences to her family/friends. She is surely missed. Rest in Peace

Dr. Karsten and family, my husband Jeff and I extend our sympathies to you and your family in the passing of Dr. Hazel..we both revered her as our dermatologist and were in awe of her many accomplishments and service to others (Jeff is also a Rotarian). May memories of this amazing lady give you peace in the days ahead.
