Please except heartfelt condolences from the Thornton family. Your family will be in our prayers. On a personal note, when communicating with Hazelle years ago in Richmond, she was the same caring person I recalled from the days of my youth. Do not grieve in excess, but celebrate a life well lived. God Bless.
