Dear Nancy, Wes and family, Sorry about the loss of your mother. We know she’s in a better place, but a loss just the same.
She’s been a dear friend and so was your Dad. They loved people and their door was always open to us. We’ve spend many good hours with them. Your Mom was a beautiful hostess. Sorry we couldn’t communicate the last couple of years. May God comfort you all, as you share happy memories. Bless you, John and Gerrie Kiezebrink

So sorry for your loss! I still remember how happy Hazel was after I came to know the Lord! The scripture she shared with me was so encouraging! Hazel was such a kind, loving person who was a wonderful testament for the Lord! She will always have a special place in my heart! Take comfort in knowing she is now in the loving presence of Jesus!
