Dear Marilyn, Janet, Andy and your extended family.
Aunt Hazel was such an amazing woman. When we lived on Judson pl she was like a second mother to me. She was such a hard worker and she raised three wonderful children by herself as well as put up with 5 boys who lived upstairs. She was a great driver and she was the first woman I could remember that wore slacks ! She was mindful not to swear but she sure used the words "Jimminy Crickets " a lot. She was a great baker and cook. She always made sure the boys had freshly baked cookies. She always had a smile and a friendly greeting whenever I saw her. She will be sadly missed but she now is at rest in heaven.
God speed Aunt Hazel.

Dear Marlin, Janet and Andrew,
I am so sorry to read that your Mom has passed away. She was friends with my Mom and Dad many years ago and as children we played together. I remember sitting at our kitchen table in Huntington with you, talking and drinking coffee, ours was mostly milk, while our Mom's drank real coffee. I remember her as being a very nice lady and my parents will be sad to learn of her passing.
