To the family of Mrs. Hayes
I wish to send my sincere sympathy to all of you. I met most of you on a few occasions, but feel as if I know all of you by the wonderful stories my dear friends Tammy and Tiffany often spoke of during their visits to Rhode Island. It is not easy to lose a loved one, especially one with such a passion for her family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.
Sincerely,
Jan Kelley
