I have such find memories of Miss Hazel. She truly had a servant's heart and loved working in the Children's Department. She kept the Resource room organized and made sure the children read their missionary books. I can still hear her laugh. I know she is laughing with her parents and finally getting to snuggle with her baby boy.

It is sad to think of this precious lady leaving us, but so joyful to know she is now with the Lord and with her wonderful husband. We have lots of great memories of both her and Robert which we will cherish and think on often. May this family, also, remember all of their wonderful memories and find comfort in them.

My thoughts and prayers to the family. May the Lord wrap his arms around each of you with comfort, love and peace of mind knowing that this wonderful woman is free of pain, and reunited with her husband with whom she shared so much of her life. Safe with the Savior, they are free of pain and suffering, eternally. God Bless each of you.
