I am saddened to learn of Hershel's passing. I knew his wonderful parents when they all lived in Hueytown. They were so kind to my parents, Howard and Elvie Hayes, who lived about a mile away from them. My Mom was related to Carolyn in some way that I've never figured out (maybe as a cousin). Hershel's parents and my parents showed their love reciprocally to each other in every time of need and happiness. We saw the kids from time to time as we all grew up. Please accept my condolences for Hershel's loss. I will pray for you as you face days of sadness ahead, but trust that eventually the good memories of Hershel will dominate your minds.
