    Hazel was a beautiful soul, a dear friend, an inspiration, and a great support to those around her. She will be dearly missed. She talked always of the pride she had for her husband and son and those grandbabies - the big twin and the little one, and her big boy grandson, too. We had lunch often and I heard many stories about her mother and sister, and about how she had dreams about them. She is with them now. Rest in peace, Miss Hazel, we will keep your family in our prayers.
