Dick and Family,
Clare was one special person. Linda and I always looked forward to seeing the two of you and hopefully catching you when you walked by. She was one of the most lovely people we've met.

Green Harbor produced many outstanding athletes -- Jack Daly, Jackie Mulhern, Gussie Sullivan, Sonny Hailer, Arthur Ross, Jr and others. But, the most talented of them all was Claire Hailer. She was always the first chosen in any pick-up game on Green Harbor beach no matter the sport -- also, a terrific natural golfer at the Marshfield Country Club as a teenager. In addition, and more noteworthy, Claire was a woman of grace, integrity, and principles. It was my good fortune to have been her friend for almost ninety years. Our best wishes to Dick and the family. Claire cannot be replaced in your lives but her memories will sustain and comfort you. Love, strength and peace, John Linnehan, Gainesville, Florida.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the Dennis family. Clare was a wonderful godmother to Mark and friend of our mom Maureen. Maybe they will gather together as the groupers in heaven and continue their treasured friendship.
With love,

Dick and family,
Margo and I are deeply saddened to learn of Clare's passing. She was ever gracious, warm and shared her wonderfully 'understated' sense of humor and sense of curiosity about all things and people. A wonderful wife, friend, mother, grandmother ~ a superb person, memories of whom will stay with us. Please accept our heartfelt condolences.

I am thinking of all my Dennis cousins as they mourn the gentle passing of Aunt Claire, and celebrate her life with great love and so many happy memories. Aunt Claire was a fixture gatherings of our large, extended family and made sure to great each and every one of us, and met all the youngsters of the next two generations with delight.
