You are in my thoughts and prayers.
One of my fondest memories of Miss Maurene was one the nights the Chumley's joined the Hays' for a supper of venision. I can still see her frying that deer. Oh those were good days! I will miss seeing her at church…she always encouraged me in my music. God bless you all.
Mrs. Hays was a sweet and kind lady. She encouraged me when I needed it most and kept me singing in the choir. I will miss her. Now she is singing in the heavenly choir
Mrs. Hayes was a wonderful neighbor years ago for my grandparents, Irene and Ernest Taylor. I am sorry for your loss and wish the family comfort in good memories.
A wonderful lady, outstanding mother and a person who was loved by all. My prayers and sympathy are with all of you.
