I met Hazel and Francis when I was 14 years old!! They had come to the mainland to visit Gordan(Kai). I hung out with them almost every day. Francis love to go to the race track, Hazel not so much. That began a friendship that lasted for ever. When Emily came over for the summer, we hung out together also. Getting to meet more of her family. When I graduated from high school, my mom and dad sent me to Hawaii for my graduation. I stayed with Hazel and Francis for over a month. 1971 every morning I was woken up by the chica boys singing Jeremiah was a Bull frog. Many trips to Vegas, back to Hawaii in 1977 and 2004. Tried to see Hazel any time she came to the mainland. I have always believed that Hazel had a closer connection with her Higher Power. When I was feeling lost or overwhelmed, or needed prayers for specific things. Where would I go??? To my prayer warrior of course. I always felt better with Hazelโs connection! I always have said to people, you meet Hazel for 5 mins. and you feel like you โve known her all your life. Hazel and Francis are my first daughters godparents, gave my 2nd daughters middle name, and gave a middle name to my first grandson. I always wanted her to be a part of life. When I first heard Hazel passed, my first thought was how lucky God is. That Angel on earth now has her wings. You have left your handprint on my Heart โค๏ธ, and because I knew you I have been changed for Good!! With A lot of Aloha!!! Sandy ( your favorite person on the mainland)
