I am so sorry for your loss.
I have known Hazel and her sister for too short of a time. The time I did have with Hazel and her sister was so enjoyable. They both had the devil in them and was always laughing and happy. The family will miss Hazel so much but remember she is out of pain and smiling down at all of you.

I just found out about Hazel passing.
Karen and I (and our kids) just got to know her over the past year plus through the church. She was always terrific to talk with, and had plenty of stories.
She was good with the kids and was a generous soul.
Our prayers go out to the Thompson family.
