I’m not going to the reading of the will.
Hazel let me know about the gift a few years ago.
Yesterday, her daughter told me about her rapid decline.
No surprise, as she was 93.
But death is always a surprise.
Hazel was a quiet neighbor for 25 years.
And was widowed twice, Marlyn and Rollie.
Insistent Rollie, a retired farmer, mowed our shared backyard.
I last saw Hazel at the Main Street Stylist about a week ago. She was getting a permanent.
Rebecca and I will go to the funeral.
Afterward, I will mount Hazel and Rollie’s riding mower.
