With Deepest Sympathy
Hazel was the ultimate mother. Her family was and I’m sure continued to be the most important thing in her life. I always loved to go to their house or to the lake house at cedar creek way back when. I was always made to feel welcome and I always felt to be very much a part of their family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and I’ve never forgotten the good times with the Walkers. Love, Stacy
Please know that your family is in our prayers as well as our hearts. If there is anything we can do please let us know. She was a wonderful women and always made my family feel loved.
