God spoke to me today! It was neither voice nor words ... but of the wonderful images of my childhood life ... growing up under the watchful and gentle care one of my Best Friend's fathers and his family. If I could only express to you; a fraction of how special it was; then you would know how I feel at this moment. To Barbara, Paula, Lisa, and James ... All my prayers, smiles, and warm memories, are with you now, forever, and always. I Love You All, David S.

Dr. Hayes was a great person and doctor!
He was my gyn/ob from when i was just 18 years of age in 1968 until he retired in 1997. he has been truly missed in the medical profession since his retirement, and I know that he will be missed by his family and friends now.
May knowing & the memories of all that he helped in his lifetime, and
all the children that he brought into the world, and your fond memories of him,help ease your sorrow and grief.
You and your family are in my prayers!

My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Hayes and family,and pray for the Lord's strength, peace and comfort during these days.
Dr. Hayes was my GYN doctor for many years. I have missed him so very much since his retirement. He was a kind, gentle man and never seemed to be in a hurry with a patient. He always made you feel like you were his only patient and did not rush you in and out of his office. It was a pleasure to know him.
May the Lord's presence be very near.

I was fortunate to see only a small part of the sacrifice that Dr. Jim Hayes gave in his lifetime toward the miracle of life. I can only imagine the countless hours that he spent away from his family serving others in the community. I know that I have been blessed in unmeasurable ways by his whole family.
I send my sincere love to his precious family. I can only imagine what it was like for Uncle Jim to finally see Jesus face to face, and I look forward to see him there.
All my Love,
Tommy

Dr. Hayes was my doctor for my last two children. He delivered my son Brian 13 years ago and was wonderful. He always made you feel as if you were the only patient he had.
My deepest sympathies to the Hayes family. May God hold you in the palm of his hand during this difficult time.
God Bless !

How saddened I was to read about Dr. Hayes' death. He delivered my second child in 1966. I had a serious of complications beginning with a placenta previa. After my
c-section he spent a long time with my husband explaining all that had happened. He will always be remembered as one of the "best".

My deepest condolences to Dr. Hayes family. He was such a caring physician and had such a gentle way. I had been a patient of Mein/Joest/Hayes since 1973 (as well as my mother) and have deeply missed him since his retirement. He helped me through my infertility and delivered my long awaited son 14 years ago. My prayers are with his family.

The news of the passing of Dr. Hayes deeply saddens my family. His his professional manorism combined with a positive attitude towards others made him a symbol of our community. Among the many children he delivered, over a dozen were from my family alone. He will be missed by many.
The best of wishes go to his family and our prayers are with them.

Dr. Hayes was a wonderful doctor and a kind, gentle and caring person. For 7 years he worked with me on treatments for infertility. I would sit in his office crying and he would cry too. Now I have two beautiful children and a grandson. I will be forever grateful that he was my doctor.

Was very saddened by the news of Dr. Hayes passing. While he was not my life long doctor, I did have the privilege of being one of his patients for a long portion of my adult life, which included two operations.
I also worked with his daughter, Paula, several years ago at Barnett Bank and currently am employed at Bank of America as is his daughter, Lisa.
My sympathy to the entire Hayes family.

My deep sympathy to all the family. I was a patient for over 34 years with Dr. Hayes and my last child is now 30 and she was a patient of Dr. Hayes before he retired. He was such a gentleman and a reliable physician. He saw me through rough times and good times. Dr. Hayes has been missed greatly by me since he retired and now more so since his departure for heaven. For the family: I know he loved you dearly as he told me many times. Also he loved his grandkids greatly. There were a few times we ran into each other at the airport when he was either coming or going to see his kids and grandkids. He truly was a loving person and a great physician. Shirley Stanley

Dr. Hayes was my doctor for over 20 years. Hearing of his death saddens me. He was such a wonderful person. I remember how I felt the day he said he was going to retire. I thought, "how will I ever find a doctor as kind and caring as Dr. Hayes". He will truly be missed. May God hold you close in the days to come.

My condolences to the family. Dr. Hayes was my GYN/OB when I was expecting my first child, and he was a wonderful doctor. Especially to a 19 year old girl who "didn't know nothing about birthing a baby."
