Hazel. Beautiful in every aspect. Her love and kindness to all is her legacy. She loved Jesus and honored Him faithfully. She was my mentor when I was so young, and led me into serving the Lord with gladness and dignity. Talented beyond measure. To know her was to love her.
To God be the glory!
My condolences to her loving children and grandchildren.
Jeanette, when I visited, your loving care for your mother was exemplary. You made her proud.
Much love to you and your brother.
