Not sure what to say?

Monday January 9th, 2012

I just learned of his passing and am profoundly sad I missed the Celebration. One of my greatest compliments as a singer when he told me when he was appearing weekly at the Las Gallinas Golf Course that if ever I came by he would turn the show over to me.

I am going to miss him deeply.

A great man and friend. Joyce, I miss you all. In all the years here in Sayulita my heart has been with you.
The best to all the family.
Love, Mary Greenfield

Ahh Les My old friend Your voice will never be silenced as long as I m alive. Going to miss your friendly smile and kind attitude towards your fellow SGV neighbors. RIP

It's so good that Mr. Bailey lived a long life. It reminds me of what the psalmist said at Psallm 90:10- In themselves the days of our years are 70 and if by special mightiness they are 80 years. Yet there insistence in on trouble and hurtful things. For it must quickly pass by and away we fly.
