To the Bailey Family,
I will always treasure the times we spent with Aunt Irene. She would always invite us over for dinner after church on Sundays. She loved cooking and feeding anyone who wanted to come over. May you find strength in your faith,comfort in God's love and peace in knowing your friends are praying for you.
