I will always remember Mr. Bailey very fondly. I first met Mr. Bailey through East Pearl church. At one point he taught one of my Sunday School classes. He always treated my sister and I very kindly throughout my father’s marriage to his daughter. He was and will always be remembered as a kind and loving man.
