My deepest sympathies goes out to the Bailey family. My heart aches with pain knowing that someone who loved his family and children so much was taken away so soon. May God less you all. Alicia please be as strong as you can be. I know it is hard but just be strong and have faith in prayer. Continue to enjoy Lafayette's love for you through his children Lafayette & Nadia. Always let them know how much of a loving father that they had. If you need anything or just someone to talk to you can call me at any time.

Knowing that your still with us fills my heart with joy
Reaching for the stars tonight to hold my little boy
In the moments that we shared on earth, each one is to true
Sharing life and love we did turned the sky so blue
Time will heal the pain I know but your always on my mind
Instant memories take me back you are one of a kind
A loving brother, son, a father full of pride
Never one for being sad yet so much pain to hide
Memories they come and go and I know life does go on
Inside my heart your are my sun, your glow it really shone
Kids grow into men yet you went so soon, never had the time
Hearing your churchbell laughter as the clock begins to chime
Always you are in my heart every night and every day
I will live your life through childrens eyes even though you are away
Lay your head back down to sleep, whisper into the night
Always I will listen to you, my eternal guiding light
Now I carry on with life I do the best I can
Destiny may have taken you too soon, but you are a man
Each year the time it passes, grows into another new
Rest in peace my loving son, we are here with you
Seasons turn into new dawns, your name will never die
Eternally Lafayette we think of you, we will always try
Now go to sleep and dream of me as I dream of you, my special son you are a shining light, no words are more true.

Sorry to hear about the families loss, I didn't really know Lafayette to well personally but we went to high school together and we knew of each other through school. We may have not always seen eye to eye but we respected each other through our disagreements. My heart goes out to Alicia and his kids may god give you strength through this time of bereavement. Lafayette was a good man who didn't deserve what happened to him he was a family man, I know his spirit along with the fathers is with the family watching over you and keeping you safe.
