To All the Bailey Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathies on the death of your wife, mom and grandmother. Being neighbors for years (first when our backyards touched while living on Gillen Ave., then moving onto Lincoln Ave., I remember many days of playing with Sharon, Linda and Sheila, of babysitting, going back and forth to school with your Mom at times. She's definitely in a better place and free of pain. I know the coming Holidays will be very difficult, but try to remember the good times with her. Don't be surprised to "hear" her voice from time to time. Her spirit lives on in all of you.
God Bless you all,
Debi (Plante) Imondi and the Plante Family
