I was so sorry to hear of Sally Todd Bailey's death, and want to send my deepest sympathy to Meta Chisholm and the rest of the family. I hadn't seen Sally since I was a child, but I remember her.

We will miss Mrs. Bailey. I personally looked forward to each annual visit with her tax information. She was just such a joy to speak with and she was always interested in others. She spoke so lovingly of her family members and wanted to know about ours as well.
