My Aunt Hazel was absolutely the best
I have enjoyed many fishing trips with her as she did love the outdoors. We had many fish fries together with family and friends. She also considered friends as family so she has a big family. She was loved by many and will be missed by many. My father once told her that they were the last of the Mohicans as they were the last of their siblings and now they are gone but not forgotten. I have nothing but great memories of my Dear Aunt Hazel. She will be greatly missed.
I love you Aunt Hazel Parker

Aunt Hazel was a beautiful lady, inside & outside. She always called me a couple times a month for over 18 years. 14 since my double lung transplant in 2006. She was a Wonderful Aunt, caring and always showed us she loved us tremendously. I will miss those talks we had and oh so many laughs. Thank you Aunt Hazel for just being you.

I will always cherish the great memories I have of my beautiful aunt Hazel. She was always the most caring and loving person I know. I will miss calling her and having our talks on the phone since we didn't get to see each other very often. Now she will be with my mother and the rest of her family in heaven and I know she is happy. Love you aunt Hazel, R.i.p.
