So sorry for your loss. My family grew up as neighbors to the Kness family,(Hayes'), we had so much fun playing with the kids, memories we won't forget. I was pretty little, but I do remember Carolyn and my mom going back and forth trying not take the money for something. It was funny! Carolyn always invited us into her home, may God be with you all at this time. Judy (Hayes)Berenger.
