Your mom and dad loved for me to play the piano for them and I enjoyed doing that. She is hearing much more beautiful music now than I could have ever played for her. She is listening to the angels sing. We have been lifelong friends and I am here for you if there is anything at all I can for you or even just talk. I love you sweet friend and I will continue to pray for you all. God bless you.

  8. Dear Family, I am so sorry for your loss but for our loss too. She was a wonderful lady and I enjoyed my visits with her and Mr. Bailey. I feel so bad that I did not call her on Sunday to wish her a Happy Birthday. We had talked about celebrating together since mine is today the 31st. I got her birthday card in the mail today. She always had a wonderful smile even when she did not feel good. I pray the Lord will give you all strength during this difficult time but know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We will see her again someday when we get to Heaven, we can really celebrate with her at that time! She will be missed. Take care of your Dad for her!!!

  9. Dear Everett, Joyce, Lois and Reba, I am so sorry for the loss of Your wife and mother. She was the sweetest person ever. I loved our phone calls. She was so good to me when I first met her after I married her dear brother. I am so grateful for the family that I became part of. I know that she will now be happy in heaven with her Lord. I can hear her sweet laughter now. Wish I could be there with the family. Sending prayers for all.
