Clare was a cherished friend in our "Buttons and Bows" Red Hat group. I proudly wear the little ribbon and net "hat" she made for many of us. We will miss her so very much. If/when any plans are made for a memorial service, I would like to be informed.

To the Dougherty Families,

We often wondered where the paths of life have taken Clare. She was one of the most caring and influential ladies we knew. We know that she will be watching over her family (that she loved so much) until you reunite again in Heaven.

Sending you all our deepest sympathy,
Marie and Tony Brock
(Former friend and employer of Clare)
