My condolences to the family of Hazel, so sorry for your loss.
I worked with Hazel at TD Bank downtown Halifax, I enjoyed her company and especially making me laugh.

Michael and Linda we are so sorry for your loss. Our family was so blessed to have spent many years of fun and laughter with Hazel and Wayne at the lake. We could not wait for Friday night by the fire for our drinks and Hazel would alway keep us entertained with her stories of the week. It is a time in our lives we will alway treasure and keep her close to our hearts. Sending hugs to the both of you đź’”
My deepest condolences on the loss of Hazel. I was an employee of Parkstone a few years back and got to spend quality time with Hazel. She truly did have the best giggle. She won’t be forgotten.
