Clare Dowd Hayes (Mrs. Edward F.)

Oh my dear, dear cousins, Mary, Ellen, Ted, John and Bill, I just today learned of your mother's death, and I am so deeply saddened by that news. Is it a coincidence that YESTERDAY I was thinking that I needed to call her because we had not been in touch for awhile? I have so many treasured memories of her, dating from her engagement to your Dad, my special cousin Ted, when we discovered that not only were we almost twins (7/22 birthdays), but kindred spirits as well. I remember so many visits when you were all kids, living in New Rochelle, and I stayed at your house whenever I went down for an alumnae board meeting at the college (One wonderful memory is cheering Billy on in a sailing race!) And again, in later years, when my husband Ed and I went to Castine every summer for a vacation at Maine Maritime with his USNA classmates and always included a visit with Jean and whoever else was at Hancock Point at the time. I've missed those contacts. My sisters, also, would like to send condolences. Meanwhile, please accept my heartfelt sympathy in your loss, and my loving prayers. I will be having Masses offered for your mother.
