Well, Denice and Beverly you can be comforted that your mother is at rest because she missed Roger so much. It was like the light went out of her when he past and she was trying to hold on for the rest of you. Mrs. Dailey loved you all so much because she talked about her family a lot.
I know a little about every one of you from
her Mother and Father to the youngest child in your family. She was so proud of her family and I thank God for her because she gave me good advice and a place to live.
And we lived there for 20 years. One thing I know for sure you always knew what she stood for whether you liked it or not she was never a phoney person. Mrs. Dailey was a small woman but you would never know that by the way she carried herself. When we would sit outside for hours and hours, sometime I would be afraid when she would talk to some of the young people on the street where we lived and tell them the right way to do things but these people would always come back later in time and give her a hug and would look for her to say hi even if they did not like what she would say to them. She would give many food, if she had a little bit she would give you a little. So all I can say is to love life and love people because she gave you a great example.
