In Loving Memory*The Life of a Soul"

An inspiration to the Bailey Family and Friends
dedicated to the memory of
Willie Andrew Bailey
by: Genova Graves Meekins (from me to you)

God holds everything in the palm of His hands. Although it may be hard to be contented, remember the life of "Willie's" soul on earth goes beyond "Willie's" departure. With his life touching yours, and with God's comfort may God touch your heart, speak to you, and you feel the presence of God's spirit with you, guiding you in all things, remembering the gentle love of "Willie", worked with, and loved.

"Willie" will always live in your life and in the lives of friends that knew him.

"Love never dies" * From me to you

I will always remember you,

With God's Blessings and Love,

Rest in peace.
