To the family: I am so sorry to read of Hazel’s passing. I moved in next to her in Willis in 1999 and when I met her I liked her immediately. After that she was so kind to me until she moved to a different residence. I want to send my sincerest condolences to all of her family and friends. Joan Asbury
