Dear Mr. Bagley, Jane, Peter & Douglas, and Martha,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Mrs. Bagley was like a second mother to me. She was always so patient and kind; so easy to talk to and good with the neighborhood kids when she already had plenty to keep her busy. Her home was always so graciously inviting, with her wonderful sense of humor and generosity. I remember her owls and it never ceased to amaze me what wonderful figures she could carve out of stone! She, along with all the Bagleys, was a huge part of my childhood which I will never forget. I am thankful for you all and my thoughts and prayers are with you now.

Dear Ralph and family, We shall miss Joanne, one of our favorite people at Cottage Park Yacht Club. We're so proud to have won one of her lovely flower paintings at the Strawberry Festival in Winthrop some 7-8 years ago; it hangs proudly in our bedroom here in Daytona Beach. Truly a classy as well as talented lady, she had clear & warm thoughts to share at book discussion meetings. Know we feel privileged to have known her. May you, Ralph, sail on with wonderful memories.
