My wife Debbie and I first met Hazel and Lewis Willard soon after they moved to Lake Jackson around 2005 (?). I was pastor of Second Baptist Church in Lake Jackson, and Hazel came and joined our church. She was faithful in attendance, and I enjoyed visiting with them in their home quite often. We always joined hands and prayed before I left. And when their health began to decline, our church kept them on our prayer list.
