"Dan and Tammy, words can not express my grief. She was such a part of my life for so long. I remember Christmas Eves when she would cook such a large meal and we would all open presents. She was a bigger kid than anyone. She loved having fun and I will never forget that. On Christmas Day we had the Bailey reunion. Those Bailey girls always had a good time. I will always cherish the memories from that part of my life"

"To the family, please accept my sincere sympathy on your loss. I knew Dorothy most of my life and always was very fond of her. The years she put up with me, 'fixing' my hair' we had some of the best talks.
Praying the Lord will give you the peace and comfort that only he can
give at a difficult time like this.
