Thank you Grandma for everything, you helped me understand how important family is, if it weren’t for you I would be a lesser person today.
We have so many good memories of Hazel. All the way back to Junior High School. It was so easy to go over to LaRae’s house, because Hazel welcomed all of us kids and made us feel comfortable. I was lucky to continue seeing her in sorority and I missed her when she wasn’t able to come anymore. She was a beautiful lady and will be missed.
