In our earliest memories, loveable Aunt Alice was there--the irreplaceable Matriarch of the Haggarty-Bailey family.
We have no doubt that she has reunited with our Dad, Roger, and the entire clan and is joyfully pounding away on some heavenly ivories singing "Roll Out the Barrel", and "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey."

I had only been in Mrs. Bailey's company a few times, having been introduced to her through her son Paul. This was so many years ago; but the impressions she left with me I'll always remember and cherish. She was an absolute joy, so accepting and such a delight!
