Hazel, wife of Alvah Robichaud passed away
My father, Alvah Robichaud, passed away on 2-25-2006. He was the last of his family. This year on 2-21-2010 his wife and my mother Hazel (Rockwell) Robichaud passed away.
My father entered the hospital on 2-21-06 and died 2-25-06. My mother died on 2-21-10, four years to the day after my father entered the hospital, and her funeral was on 2-25-2010, 4 years to the day after my father died.
Hazel's father, Clarence Rockwell, was 89 when he died. She had a sister who died at 89. Both died within a month or so of their birthdays. My mother turned 89 1-25-2010. I jokingly told her I hoped she didn't carry on where her father and sister left off, but sure enough, within a month of her birthday she was gone. She also had a sister who died about a week before her 89th birthday.
Hazel had her left hip replaced and according to her records came through the surgery ok. She was talking with the doctors and when they asked her to move her foot, she did. A short time later she bagan having difficulty breathing and her heart stopped. The best guess of the doctors was a blot clot.
She did not want surgery, but doctors told me she would dojust fine so I signed the consent forms, or what I now refer to as her death warrant.
