Sandy Hook, MS Monday, January 12, 2015 Our condolences to Naomi's family. Haven't seen any of your family since Uncle Ed & Aunt Eva (your grandparents) passed away. Life has a way of separating "kinfolk", unfortunately. Olen & Gertrude Bailey were my parents (both passed in the '80s). We pray that God will give you all peace as you get through these coming days & adjust to your loss. Take care.Timothy Forrest
