I just know of Mr. Bailey, not peronally, as a volunteer with Faithful Friends, but I know he was very kind of had a huge part in getting Faithful Friend off the ground and donating office space for years til the building was completed and being very giving to the cause. He was a generous and good. I send my prayers and a hug to his family.
