To the Baugh Family.Please accept heart felt condolences from me and my family and many others. I lived on Patterson St 2 doors from you guys when I was a young girl w/ my step-mother. Tommy was a baby. Your dad was the doc that stayed open till 5am in the mornings and people would set there and wait for him to see them. He was the doc for those when there was no Medicaid for the Indigent. He took care of me when I had was pregnant and had Pneumonia and could not hold my head up. Be Blessed and know that he was a Pillow of HOPE for many and rest assure he has been missed from the community since his retirement. GOD make no mistakes, HE needed HIM in HEAVEN for others to be a Pillow for him now. Many of us loved him dearly.GOD has taken another of HIS ANGELS HOME to be w/ HIM.

To the Children of Dr. Baugh, I am so very sorry to read of your father's passing. I so enjoyed meeting him in and around the communty (especially Ukrop's) after retirements and get a report on ''our'' children. He was a delight to chat with and talk about Matoaca High School and family and 'those days'. Of course, I always got a complete up to date report on your activities. And......always a hug. I shall always cherish our knowing each other and, of course, the sharing of you, his young people. God Bless. Fondly, Ann J Pond, former counselor, Matoaca High School.

Dear Tommy and family,
I am very sorry for the loss of your dad. He was truly a wonderful man. Your dad was so proud of you. We spoke often of you when I told him that we went to MHS together. Take solace in knowing he is in a good place.

To the family. Losing someone who has being a part of your life for so many years must be very difficult. May it help to ease the hurt you feel now to know that others care and are thinking of you at this sad time. With deepest sympathy. - Psalms 61:3
