Margaret, Hannah and Katie,

We are all so sorry to hear about your Mom. Seems like only yesterday that she was belting out her tunes at Way-Off-Broadway. I loved going to watch her. It was good to meet up again at Hawktoberfest. What fun we had! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this sad and most difficult time.

Hayes Girls,

Your mom was real and always had her door open. I have grand memories of her when I was in "Way Off Broadway". She was a real BROADWAY BABY!

May you find comfort in her loving memories.

Margaret
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I'm not on face book and don't look at my emails very often. My bad.

Please extend my sympathy to your family.

God bless-Judy

I am so sad to have to say goodbye. From grammar school to high school, through college and on to adulthood, her door was always open, her welcoming smile and booming laughter a joy to be around and her no-nonsense advice and wisdom offered without hesitation. She was a daughter, sister, friend, wife, mother - and teacher both in the classroom and to all who had the honor to know her. She loved unconditionally and overcame adversity with courage and old-school tenacity, never giving up and passing her strength on to those around her. Mrs. Hayes will be sorely missed. Good-bye. God speed.

Margaret, Hannah & Katie - Sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. We always regret the loss of so wonderful a person as your mother, but will always remember her leading presence, wit, humor, and love in our time together in the St. Linus community - not to mention her "knock out" vocals. As she would say of some singers in our shows "She was truly a Heavy Hitter". Jim & Carol Higgins

To the Hayes family
Your loved one was a fair and awesome elementary school teacher. I remember her well from the early to mid 70's when I attended Robert Healy School. Please know that she was a part of so many lives. Thank you for sharing her. May her good soul rest in peace

November 8, 2014

So sorry for the families loss. Mrs. Hayes was my 7th and 8th grade teacher at Healy School back in "78" and "79". Mrs. Hayes will be truly missed by many and never forgotten by all.

Mrs. Hayes was one of my teachers at Healy School. She was one of the best! Years after I graduated, I found out that we had the same alma mater, Rosary College. I know that she will be missed by all that knew her. May she rest in peace with your father and brother. In sympathy

To my sweet next door neighbors. I'm thankful for having grown up next door to a great woman like your Mom. Her strong work ethic was such a lesson to me. I saw her parent you girls but have more memories of how busy she was as a Mom to Katie and Johnny. He was "all boy" and after I had my two I felt a little more prepared for them. She always made me feel like I was a good student and encouraged me. She had to face the unthinkable after the accident like the rest of you and she did a great job raising you all. For some reason I remember her putting on some Charlie perfume and coming around your kitchen table and putting a little on each of us. I felt so "grown up". I know we've lost touch a bit with our lives but wanted to send my sincere condolences and say Thanks Mrs. Hayes. You made an imprint on me! God Bless! Maria Butler
