SO LONG UNCLE JIM

Uncle Jim was a great family man
For whom I was a great fan
He never minded us all hanging out
He enjoyed it, without a doubt
When it came time for us to fly
He would not allow us to say goodbye,
So in keeping that request for him
I will only say, for now, So Long Uncle Jim

Dear Aunt Barbara,
You may not remember us but we are John and Anthony Patti (Earl D Bailey,III's sons). We would like to tell you how sorry we both are about Uncle Jim. We only met you a few times at Grandma & Pop Pop Bailey's house. But as my Mom said it was a great day we both had fishing off the docks with Uncle Jim and are happy for the memories.
God Bless and we are sorry for your loss. I'm sure he will be missed!
John & Rachel Patti
Anthony & Nina Patti

Bampa,
I love you and miss you...
Your truly the best Grandfather. I thank you for your strength and your love you've shared to me about Our heavenly Father. I will miss our visits and long talks.
I love you, Staci

Dear Aunt Barbara & Family,
Earl, III & I are so sorry we can not make it but wanted you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.... I have the best memories of Uncle Jim with John and Anthony fishing on the docks for mackerel. Our boys had the best time and I have the picture of Anthony & Uncle Jim cleaning the fish!!! YUKKK
God bless and know that you & the family are in our hearts......
Love,

Dear Barbara, Shari, Jane and Roxanne
We will always remember the good times, especially those family reunion that we had so often when we were younger. He was loved by everyone and will be missed terribly. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Ken and Pat (Spencer) Clayton

Grandfather, you were just a lad,
so many years ago.

You had your loves and you had your dreams,
you watched us come and go.

You watched us make the same mistakes,
that you had made before,
but that just made you hold us tight,
and love us even more.

We haven't always thought about the things that you have seen.

To us you've just been Bampa, no thought of who you've been.

But we remember now in love,
your life from start to end,
and...

Auntie ,
Uncle Jim will always live in our hearts, in our memories, and in the way we see the world. He taught us to love, to witness beauty, and to see hope for our world....I loved him very much.
May you find comfort in His presence all around you.

Dear Aunt Barbara, I' sorry about Uncle Jim. I'll miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time.
