My deepest sympthy, I'm so sorry for your loss. I was so hurt when I read the paper today, my thoughts went back over the past thirty years. Remembering our past we were more like family than friends, Mrs Bailey will be greatly missed.

Dear Bailey Family
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I remember her very well as a child living next door to you. My brother Darryl and I used to play with Micheal, and Bobby. Your sister Denise and Vicki Harris were like big sisters to me.. Your mom was always nice to everyone. Seeing her picture took me back to a time of life when kids could be kids and you knew who the adults were. It took me back to Miss Lucy Miss Bootsy Miss Geraldine & others. Playing at the little park and the big park and Miss Rita at the rental office and Louie Beckers etc. So much has changed but one thing remains and that is the love of a good mother. Consider yourselves Blessed. May you find comfort in all of the wonderful memories I am sure you have of your mom. I know that God will comfort you in the days of adjustment to come. God Bless you all.

To the Bailey Family:
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mother. I have fond memories of a beautiful and wonderful lady who helped me thru the difficult times when my mother passed. This is even a sadder note because your mother passed on the same date as my mother 44 years ago.
May all of you find comfort in knowing Jehovah will not forget your mother's service to him and the faith she has shown. Please put trust in Jehovah and his promise of a resurrection for all mankind.
On behalf of the McCullough Family we are very sorry.

May the spirit of your mother's loving heart comfort you and bring you strength during this difficult time. Mrs. Bailey was truly a fabulous mother of the world. Her encouragement to us during childhood was awesome, for that we are grateful. When the nights become unbearable, just look unto the hills which cometh your strength. God will not forsake you or leave you alone.
Our Prayers Are With You,

Slob-bo,
My prayers are with you at this sorrowful time and I share in your pain. Stay strong, God needed your mother more. We may not understand or even want to accept His will but He knows what's best. I can just picture in my mind, her up in heaven on the side of a merciful Father who has promised us all eternal life if we follow Him.
With Sympathy,
Netball
