Susan Seaforth Hayes: Loving Bill Hayes

“Today marks 2 months since my Billy passed. With tender feelings, I have read the many beautiful condolences that friends, family, and strangers have sent,” Seaforth Hayes posted on Instagram along with a beautiful photo of herself and Bill. (Does any photo they are in not capture their love for each other?)

“Each one is a treasure proving his life touched not only mine, but theirs, too. Thank you from a widow’s overflowing heart,” the actress continued. “The celebration of his life took place February 10th and for those who might like to see the service it’s up on YouTube (link in bio and in story). I have been told it’s already up to 116,000 views!

“If you are reading this, you are connected to Bill and Susan, Doug and Julie, like family,” Seaforth Hayes warmly shared. The actress added information about the picture she selected for her post. “The photo today was taken in West Virginia on Cheat Lake- when the day was ‘breezing up’ and love was in the air…just like today ?? xx Susan.”

Due to DAYS’s production schedule, Bill Hayes and his character Doug will be seen on the Peacock series into July.
