ISAAC HAYES WAS A GOOD GENTLE AND KIND FRIEND. WHEN A GUEST HOUSE I WAS LIVING IN ATL BURNED DOWN AND I WAS LEFT WITH NOTHING. HE SAVED ME BY PUTTING ME UP IN A HOTEL. HE PURCHASED CLOTHING AND FOOD FOR ME. HE NEVER ASKED FOR A THING. I WAS AROUND HIS ON MANY OCCASIONS EVEN IN THE STUDIO WITH MANY OF HIS (CELEBRITY) FRIENDS ON SPRING STREET IN ATL AND HE WAS ALWAY DOWN TO EARTH. HE WAS A DEAR FRIEND AND I WILL TRULY MISS HIM. MAY MY GOOD FRIEND REST IN PEACE AND KNOW THAT OUR GOD NEVER MAKE A MISTAKE. WE LOVE YOU. MY PRAYERS GOES OUT TO THE HAYES FAMILY.
My Prayers goes out to the Issac Hayes Family May God Comforter You and Guide you thru all difficults and sorrow. “His Eye Is On The Sparrow”.
