As your birthday is coming up, you would’ve been 35. How our lives would be so different if you and Kelli would still be here. I miss you so much! Wish you were here everyday with us. Love ya babe!!

Dr. Bailes and family:



I was saddened to hear about the loss of your daughter. Having lost my eldest son not too long ago, I know that mere words cannot ease your pain. I remember thinking, 'how dare life go on when my heart is so empty'. But you know what? Life does go on ... and the sun does come up another day ... and you do learn to laugh again. God now has your daughter in his arms. May the most precious memories of your angel help you through the time ahead.



My thoughts and prayers are with you,

Sylvia Cantu
