Briefly, about Hazel - a lighthouse in our town:

The incredible, ever-present force for good that is the Denmark Homeless Project, as well as the always open arms of fierce compassion that Hazel brought to us:

~ the voice on the other end of a lifeline that so many of us have reached out to while traveling in the shadows,

~ the brave defender of our fragile,

~ and the ever-present community in one body that was Hazel

are legends and legacies that we ask you to honour by offering any help you can over these fragile days for her funeral arrangements, sudden costs and support for the housing and care of her own precious family.

This news is a great shock and a deep grief - we feel that too, and extend to all of you - especially Hazel's precious children, partner, grandchildren, darling kitties - and all of you out there who have had an earth mother, a lighthouse, a worthy sparring partner, a brave voice, an inspiration and a life-saver in Hazel.

Lets honour her example and spirit, and let this be an opportunity to unite, make peace with each other, extend our selves, and show the same courage and generosity she showed us towards Hazel's funeral now, and her legacy in the future.
