Your sister and aunt will be missed on this earth. She was always there when I needed help with the family genealogy that Sister Emerita started. You will all be in my prayers. Jim or Jimmy

Louise and I send our deep sympathy for the loss of Kate. She was at our wedding shower and wedding some 20 years ago. She was a very 'nice' person and will be missed.

To all the Clairs, our love and prayers are with you at this sad time. I met Kay the first day we landed at SMC in 1944. She and Jay Malooly were my next door neighbors. I am grateful for our friendship and the countless, wonderful memories we have shared since that very fortunate day. We will always cherish them. Dodo and Jack
