37. Sunday Sept. 21--An very unexpected situation

Today was Lee's half brother's wedding. The wedding was held in an aspen grove at 9,200 feet in the mountains above Boulder Colorado. The setting and the wedding were both spectacular.

After the wedding, the plans were to have a reception at the Colorado University Alumni Club. Everyone at the wedding went back into Boulder to start the celebration, except.........

Lee's half brother Chase took his mother, Norma, and his family into Boulder earlier than the rest of the party in order to have a small family dinner before the reception. While sitting in a pizzeria in Boulder, Norma had a seizure and became unconscious.

911 was called and Norma was transported to the hospital where she died a short time later. The cause is still not firmly understood but it appears she had a stroke. All the Hazen clan was able to get to the hospital to say their final goodbys.

Norma Hazen

One of Norma's favorite sayings (among many):

"Well the Amusement Park is closed, it is time to go home."
