.Sylvia and family, I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time. I will always remember all the funny stories you shared with us about her.
Hazel was my dear friend and neighbor. She was an amazing woman, a wonderful story teller and truly one-of-a kind. Even though she did not have a dog, she'd let Lucy nap on the sofa while she and I talked. We miss these fun times. Rest in peace, sweet lady.
So sorry to hear about Hazel. She was still working at Fort Mill Plant when I was there. Very kind to everyone. She will be missed. Our condolences to the family.
Thoughts and prayers are with her family at this ...With deepest sympathy....My mother's family from Fort Mill knew and enjoyed her for a long time...
