Leo and Connie,
Please accept my deepest sympathies. Your mother was always so kind and loving. I don't ever remember a time when she was in a room that she wasn't laughing and joking around with you. She was just a joy to be around. I am certain when she arrived in heaven, she was greeted by your Dad and they are laughing and smiling down on you and Connie. Rest in peace Hazel. You are already missed by so many.
