My sincere sympathy goes out to the Hayes Family in this loss of such a dear man as Rawleigh Hayes. I would like to share scriptural message to perhaps bring some comfort and hope. The Bible speaks of God's assurance to bring relief to the enemy that death is. Please read in your Bible, 1 Corinthians 15:26 and Revelation 21:4.

Another Hayes man gone to Heaven. I am so blessed to be able to call him my Uncle. I was always told that I got my pretty blue eyes from him which puts a smile on my face. He was a hereo with so many medals in WWII protecting our country but really never talked about it. I loved talking to him by myself because he would tell me how it was! Those Hayes boys were ornery and loved the stories... Will Miss you Uncle Cecil but I know that Heaven is glorious.. Love you
