23 Feb 2021We are sorry to hear you not be able to attend. Hazel has a LARGE family and with some out of state members and the danger of traveling right now her kids have decided to do another celebration of life for her in the future after COVID is under control. I am sure we will take full advantage of the grapevine to get that info out when the circumstances allows for us to all get together and remember her.

22 Feb 2021I knew Hazel for many years through our NALC Auxiliary. She was such a great lady and addition to supporting our Letter Carriers (Seth) during our days with the branch. Beautiful lady, so glad our paths crossed and she was a part of my life.

Condolences from Wayne, Arlette, and Aaron Kilian on the passing of your mother.
My memories of her are of a very compassionate woman.
I remember her saying quite a few times:
“You boys have a good time now”
