So sorry to hear about your mother. We enjoyed meeting Hazel and getting to know her a bit. I remember going to the "Taste of Home" cooking event with your Mom and Flo; and the many times she was at Canon Rose. Also enjoyed a visit or two at her home. She was a special lady.

I saw the pictures of your family and read Hazel's Obit. I am sending a memorial Colorado Talking Book Library in her memory. Very nice write-up.
Hazel was a very special person with a very unique personality. It was an honour to have met her.
