God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
We will always miss Baileys smile and positive spirit when we took our car into
Briggs Auto in Topeka to have it repaired. She always had something funny to say, reminding me a lot of Kelly.
Prayers be with you and your family.

Bailey Jo was my one true friend in high school. We shared so many laughs, quiet moments, and memories that I´ll carry with me forever. I´m so thankful I had her in my life.

Bailey was one of my most memorable dancers from the 10 years I coached the dance team at Silver Lake. Her smile was infectious, her spirit was uplifting, and her heart was overflowing. She always greeted me with a hug when we ran into each other after she graduated. She was so proud to be a mom. Gone too soon. RIP Bailey Jo
