My heartfelt condolences to the family. Mr. Ayers always had a warm smile on his face. I first met him at the hospital during the birth of our first grandchild. The moment I saw him, I couldn't help but say, "Franklin looks just like you." He smiled, and from that day on, we became family. May his warmth and love continue to shine through all who knew him. Prayerfully, Regina Lyle and family!
