Hazel Kehoe was an absolute gem. She took us in briefly when Nick and I were hippie vagrants living in tents in the summer of '09. We helped clean her house, and were rewarded with many hours of her company, her cooking and her stories. I'll never forget her and her doves, her strong spirit or any of the things she taught me (including the right way to clean windows!) Her passing leaves a big hole in the world, and my thoughts are with all of the Kehoes and the Gottiers she leaves behind. I love you all.
