I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the family of Paula (Drake) (Lowry) Hazen for your loss.
Paula was a classmate of mine in Walkerton from Kindergarten through graduation from Walkerton High School in 1962. I used to ride the school bus to her home with her to visit and ride horses. She was so nice and so cheerful. We also worked together at Curley’s Drive-In Restaurant in Walkerton and had so much fun. I have so many good memories of Paula, and she will be missed by so many of her classmates.
