Sorry to learn of your loss. I remember the Bailey renunions. Always was good to catch up and enjoy family. I think our next generation will miss much as this custom dies.
Inez, so glad you had so many years. I lost my Howard after only 35, but they were wonderful years!
God bless all of you.
Sincerely,
Brenda
