Last year at our 50th year celebration, Prate was so full of life and seemed to be so at peace. Whereas death is an appointment that we all have to make, it still hurts when we lose a friend and a loved one. I pray that GOD will strengthen all of you.

My heartfelt condolences to the Bailey family and especially to his loving and devoted sister, Alice and his elder twins, Phillip and Phyllis whom I got to know while living in Phila. "Prate" will always be remembered for his jovial, friendly and good-natured personality and that everlasting smile he always gave to others. He was a true Ballard-Hudson & Tindall Heights Alumnus, who we all regarded.
