Once upon a lifetime, we are lucky enough to have a teacher who we love and loves us. For a shy little girl of five meeting the world the first time away from the safety of my home, parents, and siblings, Miss Hayes made my world safe and a happy learning environment at dear old Hartman Public School. She will always have a place in my heart and be my ideal of a first grade teacher. Such is and will always be this lady. Fly high on the wings of the love of your students, friends, and family. For surely you deserve the accolade of "best teacher ever"!

I have very fond memories of working with Mrs. Hayes at Hartman. I never had the privilege of having her for a teacher, but she touched many lives during her 40 years in education. She will be missed!

I will always cherish the memories I have of going to church and lunch afterwards with Mrs. Hayes, Brenda Hurst, and Mrs. Bell. We always had such a good time. She has certainly been missed at church. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers. I am so sorry that I won't be able to attend the services for Mrs. Hayes. I am the only person at the office this week. Gods blessing to each of you.
