I met Hazel in the early summer of 1984, around midnight, in the basement of MRMC (the main lab). I was making the switch from days Blood Bank to nite shift generalist. I had a lot to learn. Hazel with her trademark energy, passion and flair schooled me. She had enormous knowledge, skill and speed, she was a great tech. I learned much more from her then just lab work. I was and remain grateful for her friendship and love to me. The Lord used her to change me. I will always have much love in my heart for this great lady. Rest in peace dear sister.
