    Dear Tom and Family
    So sorry to hear of Hazel’s passing. I have always felt as if you and Hazel were a part of my family. I guess because I spent so much time with Aunt Mary and Uncle Don.

    My condolences to Mrs. Telfer’s family. She was one of my elementary teachers from a long time ago. I respected her and her ways of teaching. She taught us how to be responsible citizens, how to act appropriately, how to treat people and most of all, how to appreciate the gift of learning. May she continue her many teachings for years to come through stories and memories.

    My family wishes to express their sympathy at this tme. It’s never easy losing a wife, mother grandmother or friend. As Tom, Patricia , myself and many others grew up together throughout highschool and beyond we all have had many good times which often included time with our parents like Hazel and Tom. Hazel you will always be remembered with great fondness. You were apart of many.

    Hazel and Thomas flew to Saint Lucia to bring donations and joy to the school there. That is when we got to know them better. We enjoyed the visit, and were able to reconnect through Rotary outings. We admired Hazel’s determination and genuine interest in others and the world around her. We will miss her, but will cherish the memories.
