Larry and family, it is with great sadness I learned of Aunt Hazel's passing. My sympathy goes out to each of you, and I know you each are grieving. I know it's hard right now, but think of the reception Heaven has prepared for her! She lived a good life, and overcame all the obstacles that were in her path. Now the family is whole again. What a beautiful thought!
