Aunt Hazel was always one of my favorite aunts. I fondly remember the days my family spent on her farm. She was a very hard worker and loved her family very much. I spoke with her on the phone on her 96th birthday. She told me she was not planning on living this long and ready to go. Aunt Hazel, you will be missed and never forgotten. God Bless. Your nephew, John Harvey, Laguna Niguel, CA
