I met Rudie 45 years ago when I served briefly as musician at Sardis Baptist Church. Not only did he have a mellifluous voice, but he was also quite personable. Over the years, I have thought about him and have wondered if he was still using his wonderful talent. Sincerest condolences to his family and friends! He is now singing with the angels!

Mr. Bailey (aka "Rudie") for many years has provided the very best of care and ministry to my mother Mrs. Mamie Ray. He truly Epitomised the meaning of Deacon. My heart hurts because of his departure, yet my soul rejoices for where he is. I can see him now singing before the throne of Heaven. Well done they good and faithful servant. "Well Done."

My prayers & care goes out to the family. Rudolph "Rudie" and his gifted voice of song will be missed. His care and character were examples of a devoted Deacon.
