dallasmama Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 She was a wonderful lady. Hazel was my grandmother's sister and they were also the best of friends. I have never seen a sweeter couple than Jake and Hazel. They were married 65 years. I know she is and will be terribly missed. Link to post Share on other sites
