Dear Family,

I am sorry I will not be able to join you to honor Aunt Hazel's life, but will be joining you in thought as you gather tomorrow. What a long, full life she's had. I know she lives on in me as inspiration by who she was---a gently strong, quiet woman, poised and secure professionally. I'll never forget how well she took care of us when we went to visit her at Lerner's in Cherry Hill. This will always stay with me.

A hug and much love to everyone, Susan
