I am so sorry, I have just heard the sad news. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Especially you, Kim (my forever friend) and you, Mrs Bayly! Most all of my childhood (and adolescent) memories include my second family, the Bayly's. I love you all, and every moment that I have spent with you (during those years it was many!!!!!!!) Time and miles have passed by, and all of our lives have changed but my feelings for all of you remain the same. I am deeply saddened. At this moment I am thinking of Forest Rd, wish we were all there! - Love, "Miss D"

Jean - Things were hectic and I appreciate the hospitality. Just remember, if there is anything I can do for you, do not hesitate to call. We all love you but you know that and Blake was not only the best friend I ever had but I considered him my brother. Thank you for 41 years of great memories.

With deepest sympathy to Jean, children, and the entire Bayly family.
My heart is filled with wonderful memories of a "larger than life" family devoted to each other, and of "Choc", who was and always will be a hero to me.
With love, Reen (Hogan) Carnevale

To the entire Bayly Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

I look back to my childhood and see it like it was yesterday. Blake "Chocolate" was always such a sweetheart. We all spent many years together on Park Ave hanging out and having lots of fun. My first Christmas present from a boy was from Blake, a red wallet with my initials on it...we were about 12 years old. He was so cute and so very thoughtful. Although many, many years have slipped by somehow you never forget your childhood, and the wonderful kids that now make up the cherished memories of yesterday.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this time.

Fondly,

Judy Nelson

Judy and Roy Nelson
