Hayes Family, it doesn't seem like it's been that many years ago that I had the privelege to EXPERIENCE your family. For about a year an half, I was made to feel apart of this family and for that I am most grateful. It has allowed me in my adult life to understand the importance of family and for that I am forever in your debt. Ms. Hayes (although I don't think I was one of her favorites, LOL)was a wonderful person and I know that you will continue her legacy of putting God First and loving your family. My prayers are with you, be Blessed. LaMonica Upton

The memorial service for Ms. Francella Hayes was beautiful. What a mother! What a family! I had the honor of teaching some of Ms. Hayes grandchildren; Mia, Matt, Samatha and Keith. To all of my former students and her other grandchildren I send my very best wishes. Remember to remain strong for your parents during this time. They need to know that you are ok. To Ms. Hayes children I know this loss; and share your grief. Now from this teacher I want to remind you of your first and greatest teacher, Ms. Francella Hayes. She taught you well. You had the best! All the lessons she has taught you are done. Now your test begins. In order to past the test you must put into action the faith Ms. Hayes taught you and know that she is now rejoicing with the Lord. This is your time to believe! Also to past the test you must honor her always with your continued love and respect for each other. When you do this you will have past the test and one day join your mother and grandmother Heaven. Always Mia, Matt, Samatha and Keiths' 4th or 5th grade teacher, Mr. James Johnson
