Dear Rob, Josh, Zoë and Pat,How very, very sad we were to hear of Hazel’s death. As you know she was one of the finest, most wonderful people I ever knew. I’ve often said that when Hazel came into the room, it was like sunshine just streamed in — it was a true privilege to have know her and I can honestly say I truly loved her — I don’t think I can say that about too many people.
I remember her wonderful funny disposition; everything was always so much fun when Hazel was around. Her stories were just so funny and we spent wonderful hours making these cards* together. I felt a very special bond to her and she always made me feel like a very special person. I think that was her greatest gift — that she made whoever she was with feel really special.
I loved her and I love all of you — I’m always here for you all,
love Ruth
Ruth was a friend of Hazel’s and mine.
