To the Bailey Family my prayers and thoughts are with you during this time. I will miss Vanessa and the warm hellos from across the way. I would often see Vanessa working in her yard as I worked in mine. She was truly a wonderful person. May God keep you during these difficult days ahead. If we can be of any help please don't hesitate to call on us Rev Otis and Mrs. Carolyn Lockhart and Family 3603 Griffin Avenue 321-3373. 2 Timothy chapter 4 verse 6-8 says "For "I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. May the Lord God Bless and keep you.

Vanessa's spirit for life, the sparkle in her eyes, that wonderful smile and laugh will truly be missed. She took pride in what she did and loved the children with whom she worked. However,it was her family that she truly adored. My thoughts are with her family and friends.
