like a blooming rose for when she met
you it was always with smile and
a merry "hello." Hazel was young,
beautiful and most of all, ambitious
and a girl that mother could well be
proud of. She prided in everything
she done and always tried to do her
best. AS the correspondent writes

the loved ones left behind especially

all. But Hazels memory will never

her.
