It's been almost a year and I still miss the calls and the visits. God Bless Sister Hayes and the family. Things that he told me have began to come to pass, I thank God for putting Rev. Hayes in my path. I'm striving to make it in. To see my God and people like him. My wife and I loved him and still miss him. And although we never met the family we love you too. Peace and Blessings.

I am so saddened to hear of the loss of my former pastor Rev James W. Hayes. He performed my wedding ceremony and was my spiritual father for many years. My sincerest condolences to his children and Mrs. Hayes. He was loved and will be sorely missed.
