Dear family, I am a classmate of Rev. Bailey and grew up on Darlene St. with First Lady Vickie.
I believe almost every girl at Norris and Corry thought "Russell Bailey" was God´s gift to our young hearts.
Little did we know that it was true. He was God´s gift to many men, women, boys and girls as his ministry has demonstrated.
Praying for the Bailey family and the Church family. May God continue to bless and keep you.
