I am so sorry to hear of Hazel's passing . I grew up on Gracemont and will always remember her and Lloyd out in their garden . They were so sweet to me always . We missed them when they moved & always referred to their house as the Decker's no matter who lived there . Now Hazel will be with Lloyd again and will see my mom . Your family is in my thoughts & prayers !
