Hazel you have been in my thoughts the past couple of weeks. I thought about our time together at college which I will always treasure{especially the morning we hosted the breakfast for the people from India} and I thought about the night I stayed at the hospital with you and your Dad. I did not realize I should have been praying for your family. I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I know words are not enough. I just wanted you to know that you are in my thought,prayers,and that you will always be in my heart as one of my dearest friends.
