    Kaye, Nancy and Arlene. A special angel mom has returned to her Father in Heaven. You all know how special she was to me. She was one of my second moms both In Panguitch and Mesa. Ralph and I so loved Hazel and Clarence while we lived in Mesa and
    were so grateful for Arlene and Kaye there too while Ralph was at ASU. Nancy has been my forever friend from childhood. Your mom, ladies, represented all that is virtuous, lovely and of good report. She had a Twinkle in her eye and a sweet smile and a laugh that I will always remember. I can hear her now, laughing with those who have waited for her to come onward. My condolences and love to the whole family but especially to you 3 sweet daughters of Hazel. You have been blessed and kissed by an angel. Love, Courage and blessings of good memories and peace are sent your way. Love Patti Henrie Green and Ralph Green.

    Dear Kaye, Arlene, and Nancy,

    We were so so sad that we were unable to attend Aunt Hazel’s funeral. She was truly a remarkable person. She was always so full of energy and fun. We always looked forward to her coming to stay with my grandma. One of my favorite memories is visiting her in Panguich and eating her homemade bread that she toasted in the oven. So good!!! I loved her love for sports and her kind and caring nature. She will truly be missed, but we are so glad that she can be reunited with all her loved ones in heaven and be free from the pains of this life. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with each of you and your families. Please know that we wished so bad that we could have been there at the funeral with you. Love you all!! Melissa, Richard, Natalie and Sam
