My heart broke with the notification of Hazel's transitioning. I offer my deepest condolences to the family and continued prayers as you go through these difficult days. In school, we were had a musical singing group, The Composers, and we did have a marvelous time. I lost touch with her later in life but, she's always remained in my fondest memories growing up. Beautiful, always with a beautiful smile as well. RIP Hazel, RIP, and tell Laura, Harriet and Buckeye howdy until we meet again.
