Richard, Shelby, Dawn and Eddie,
I was saddened to hear about Aunt Hazel. It seems like just a short while ago that we were sitting around the kitchen table talking and laughing about old times. I will surely miss seeing her again but know that she is in a better place. We are so sorry that we can't be there with you today but are thinking of you during this sad time.

Richard, Dawn, and family:
Your mom was a special person to all of us in the Astor Court neighborhood. Not too long ago, I stopped in for a visit with her and thoroughly enjoyed her company. She will be missed and I know Doogie will be at a loss...she thought the world of him! She is once again with Dink and in God's hands. Love to you all,

Nothing can replace the loss of a mother and our hearts go out to all of you in this time - a time of loss to be sure, but also a time of celebration of her life on earth and her new life with our Lord.
