The loss of Mr. Hayes deeply saddens me. Mr. Hayes and his family have been there for me during both the sad and happy times in my life. Mr. Hayes couseled my husband and I before we were married and when most people would have lectured us about being too young, Mr. Hayes took the time to talk with us and understand our relationship. Mr. Hayes also married my husband and I. We could not have asked for a better ceremony. He was also the officiating minister at my grandmother's funeral. Mr. Hayes had such a beautiful way with words. He really helped ease our family's pain at a difficult time in all of our lives. I only wish I had the ability to do the same for his family. My greatest sypathies and all my love go out to the Hayes family. Both my husband and I will never forget how wonderful Mr. Willie Hayes has been to us.
