Hazel your courage and determination left an indelible mark on all who knew you. I pray that you are united with all our family who went before , you live on in our hearts and memory. Love and prayers to all Zane and family in Bahrain

A beautiful memorial to such a beautiful lady… you once gave me words of wisdom and told me “it’s not you burden to carry” - Rest In Peace brave Hazel - it’s no longer your burden to carry! You will never be forgotten xxx

Dearest Family & Friends of Hazel I have been deeply saddened knowing of Hazel's passing, with a flood of happy memories engulfing me as I reflect on the joy Hazel brought into our life. Hazel was my first "bestie" when we were in Junior School. Being neighbors, Hazel was like the older sister I never had as we shared so many carefree days together, especially splashing about in the pool over endless summer holidays. My favorite was sleepovers with Hazel, where we kept each other awake all night due to our understanding that the last one to say the final word before we fell asleep was the winner! I learnt to dance with Hazel's following of revved up teenager motorcycle boys , in the Irene Avenue lounge, to the music of the families multigenerational vynal records. I'm relieved to know that Hazel was the custodian of the "Thy Shall Not Steal" cookie jar that survived many movies over the decades! I was in awe of Hazel's glow as she carried her first pregnancy, and her commitment to her daughter as a young mother. I was blessed to be at Hazel and Jürgen's wedding at the Hohenhort, and shower the newly weds with confetti. It warms my heart knowing that Jürgen remained by her side through the joy of raising their daughter, to Hazel being with the person she loved in her closing moment. I'll always remember Hazel for her radiant smile, authenticity, love and commitment to her family, bubbly personality, generosity of spirit, and zest for life. Regrettably, with our lives being on different continents, I never maintained contact. When any of Hazel's family visit Cape Town, I would love to connect, and if I'm blessed to see Hazel's dimples reflected in her offspring, I'd be happy to show you places of significance in Somerset West from Hazel's childhood. My thoughts and prayers are with Hazel's loved ones. I wish you strength and inner peace as you rediscover the continuation of Hazel's endless love. With sincere condolence, Michelle

My dearest Hazel, Words cannot describe the loss that the world has experienced with your passing. Thank you for … …. Being you; …. All the laughs we shared, do you remember that day when you were amazed at a house which had tinted windows which adjusted to the light… only to realise it was your glasses and not the windows??? And the other time when we were sitting in the car in the wild-life resort watching the ‘dead’ lion only to get the biggest fright when it actually moved?? And that time when we got stuck in the AirBnB house surrounded by scary dogs with our luggage still in the car? We never had a dull moment and I thank you for that; … Being there for me in the hard times. Thank you especially for bearing through ‘that’ terrible song which I played on repeat. … Turning me into a ‘greeny’ – yes I always remember why I should not be using plastic straws. 😊 … Never judging me, I could tell you anything and you always understood me; … Sharing your wisdom and insights – this will stay with me forever; … Coming to South Africa with me when my mother passed away. When we met in Perth I finally realised that you were not well. I remember gently telling you off for helping me out when you were not well. But that is who you are. You always looked out for others who needed help; … Being the sister I never had. Until we meet again my friend, it will be a joyous day.

Totsiens Kiddo! You have done good…raised the bar for us all! Thank you for being so unapologetically you!

I believe that cousins have a special relationship, and even if we don’t see each other for long periods, it’s as if we were together only yesterday. This was the epitome of Hazel, her loving and caring character made you feel special and cared for. She cared, she cared deeply for her family and friends and each one of us are blessed to have had Hazel in our worlds. She was one of the most generous people I know, and Lindy and I will be so grateful for her (and the rest of her family’s) generosity when we visited them in NZ in 2011, we really were so blessed. Hazel can be very proud of the family she (and Jurgen of course) has raised, I am sure they will miss her strong and loving presence. We will miss you Hazel. The world has lost an angel Love to the whole family that is left to mourn her loss ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Goodbye Hazel You will be missed in many different ways by everyone who knew you. You were the glue that kept us all connected. . A beautiful soul.

Although I never met you, you were an integral part of the Fandamily group. Thank you for keeping us all chatting and providing many laughs for the cousins. You will be sorely missed by all who knew you. Thank you for your love and support. Rest in the love and light you shared with all you connected with. Alex

You touched the heart of all that knew you. You will be missed Hazel. Rest in peace.

Hazel, what an amazing, strong, brave woman you were 💙 The world was a better, lighter place with you in it. You have touched so many lives because of you kindness, love, and strength, I love you so so much!! Thank you for helping me throughout the severity of my illness. I will never forget the beautiful words and hope you had in me despite being so unwell yourself. You taught me so much and I still feel your presence around me in the sunshine, the clouds, and the birds. You will never be forgotten Hazel. As sad as I am to see you go, I am relieved that you have finally found peace. Your bravery and willpower was astounding and inspiring, right up until the end. I still have your beautiful denim blanket that you gifted me xx It has helped keep me warm over the past few years (and will do so for many years to come), thank you 💙🧡 I hope that you are now able to walk freely, breathe deeply, and go wherever you please. Lots and lots of love xxx

I don't remember exactly the first time we met... I don't remember the place, the date or the time. It didn't matter.. what mattered was an instant connection and bond, my best friend soul mate. We had THE BEST teenage years.. joined at the hip, sharing absolutely everything together. I wouldn't want that era with anyone else... We lived every day to the fullest. Then we grew up and the bond stayed strong, spanning continents and years. I will never forget you Hazel and am so grateful that together we learnt to love, realised our worth, didn't take &£#@ from anyone and stood strong together. A piece of me left with you but I celebrate you and everything you meant to me. We will meet again and continue our legacy 😁😁😁. Love you xx

Hazel Ramdohr…. Oh gosh, what sad, sad news to wake up to today!!! I am shattered at hearing of your passing away! Your husband Jurgen, your beautiful daughters and their gorgeous children, your folks (Conrad and Glynnis) and your sister Felicity van der Nest and Dennis your brother, must be equally shattered…! You touched all our lives with love, fun and laughter… I will never forget how much friendship and laughter we shared growing up in Somerset West… beyond a lifetime! I have missed seeing you over the years being so far, far away but have known we were always connected! I will cherish the memories my friend and light a candle for your journey to the ‘flip side’… Sending you much love and care. Bryoni 😔🥰💖🌸

How lucky we are to have had a beautiful daughter like you. There was never a dull moment while you were with us! You were so unique, always full of fun and welcomed any challenges that came your way. You had a never ending stream of friends, visiting, calling, messaging. At the same time you were very caring and always put others before yourself. You looked after all of us so well. You loved life and made the most of it. You did extremely well in your career and we are so proud to be your parents. We will miss you and love you forever Mom and Dad xxx

You welcomed me into your home and into your life with open arms and the biggest heart, you shared your wisdom, experiences and love with me and I will cherish those precious memories forever. Thank you for sharing your light with me. Love and hugs, Julia

I remember the fun growing up together, your passion playing netball and the games we had in the garden and pool at 208 Irene. I am in awe at the way you navigated the challenges life threw at you and your never give up attitude that got you so far in all things. We had special times at Kai Iwi, you on your lilo with a smile on your face and a happy twinkle in your eyes. - Your happy place. You will always have a special place in my heart. Rest well my beloved sister.
