Mrs.Bailey made profound impression on me as my principal at Meany Middle School. Looking back now, I realize what a wonderful staff we had. So many great teachers. Dee Dee Rainbow was an amazing addition and I'll remember those days as long as I take up space on this earth. RIP Mona Bailey.

I was fortunate enough to work with Mona twice. She was my mentor and friend. Over the years we worked on many substantive issues together.and she defined Grace under pressure. A loss to the world....love to you. Family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with Soror Humphries Bailey's family, friends and fellow sorors around the globe during this difficult time. It was an honor knowing her and working with her when I lived in Seattle. She was a great role model, leader, soror and friend.
Seattle, the educational community/STEM, and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will miss her dearly.
Rest in Heaven, beautiful soror. We love you.

Met her a few years ago in San Diego during Founder's Day activities--such a gracious, poised and sincere presence. She lived a life inspiring others--THANK YOU Soror Mona!
