Connie, Patti, John and families,
I was so sorry to learn of your mom's passing. She was always so kind and welcoming to me whenever I was at her home - and that was a lot when we were growing up in Neustadt. Please know I'm thinking of you at this time.
I was saddened to see/hear that Hazel has passed. For a short time last fall/winter I cleaned for her (and sister in law, Iris). Hazel was the sweetest lady ever, and loved talking about her family constantly. She always made me chuckled when she called me the wrong name, or secretly watched cartoons or worked on her crossword. She was truly a gem, and I adored her so much. My deepest condolences to the entire family.
- Sarah StuySo sorry to hear of Hazel's passing. My condolences to all her family. Hazel and I have been neighbors in Heritage Senior Complex for over 13 years. I got to know her a couple years before when we played cards at different locales in Hanover. She was such a cheery person, always had a laugh and kind worfs to say. She is going to be missed by all her neighbors and friends in Hanover and area, I know her family will miss her too. My deepest sympathies to all.

Connie, Patti, John & family,
I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Hazel was such a wonderful, kind & cheerful lady.
I have so many fond memories of the times when our family visited Aunt Pearl & Uncle Norman and we could all have a great visit . Then, in more recent years, when the “first cousins “ got together for an afternoon of fun & games and a good catch up !!
May the cherished memories give you peace and strength for the days ahead.

It has been a long time since our family of Frank & Reta Horton visited (as I always knew them) Uncle Norman and aunt Pearl in Hanover. Joan, Hazel, Bob and Carol were always around.I have kept somewhat in touch with Bob and Carol but the older girls drifted into my past. Please accept my condolences at the loss of Hazel. This picture is how I remember her, although a lot lighter color on top.
