How does one express the amazing essence and spirit of Hazel, her selfless generosity, uncompromising belief in all that is good and her unwavering commitment to family and friends?
Words, even the very best of words, cannot pay tribute or truly capture the sense of loss that I feel with Hazel�s passing.
Sorrow fills my heart at this sad moment, a sorrow that is deep and personal for me. I look back on my childhood and see Hazel�s home as my second home. I can see myself hidden behind her reclining chair waiting in anticipation for her to find me�and find me, she always did. Hazel always had time for a little girl�s numerous questions and she always made me feel special and loved. She was an extraordinary person, loving, unselfish and a caregiver for others. Just as she cultivated her garden each year, she also cultivated her children and the little neighbor girl down the street�me.
The loss is tangible and real…but Hazel exemplified life, love, laughter and an irrepressible belief and faith in seeing the best in everything. And so, today I honor her by profoundly feeling and expressing my loss, but also by remembering Hazel as an amazing person who has played a unique and special role in my life.
