Enjoyed very much helping Mrs. Bailey with taxes over many years. She was a dream to work with--very particular in keeping up with all the details and very cheerful, even with health problems. In recent years, ended our meetings with a prayer with her. She was a wonderful lady and I will truly miss her.

May God grant peace to the family during these days and in the future.
