Bill Bailey

Melvin & Linda,
So sorry about Bill and I still can't believe it all. I wanted to talk to you at the funeral, but did not get the chance to. Kyle, John and I know Bill will not suffer anymore and there of course will be his place in heaven forever more.
Love,
Susan, John & Kyle (Gribs)

So sorry for your loss. Although I haven't seen Bill since high school, he was a great friend and will be missed dearly!

Melinda & family,
So sorry to hear about the loss of your brother, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
May God give you strength and courage to walk in His footsteps every step through this journey.

To the Bailey Family: I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Many of my childhood memories come from spending time with Bill at the ballpark. He was a true inspiration...he taught us how to enjoy life and have
fun. He will be forever missed

Mrs Bailey,Mr Bailey,Melinda - there is nothing I can say other than your son was one of the best people I have ever met. When we younger, Bill always stood up for me and taught me to stand on my own. I will never forget him. God Bless You -Im so sorry

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. MAY THE LORD CONTINUE TO BE WITH YOU.

My condolences to the Bailey family.

Dear Linda, Melvin & Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of sorrow. Clay and I had a wonderful conversation about Bill the other night about all the fun times we had as kids at the ball park and swimming at your house. Your family always made everyone feel like they were at home. Now Bill has gone to his ultimate home and may he rest now. Bless you all and all our love, Clay Carl, Laurie Meadows Swindells and our families

Bill is still alive. He didn't die, he just moved from his earthly body to his Heavenly Body. Jesus made the way.

Dear Sweet Melinda,
Bill was a special soul, and I wish I could give you a long hug and talk about all the memories of the summers we all spent together at the lake waterskiing, spending the night at your house on the weekends, and your mom taking us all on road trips and having so much fun! When I remember Bill I think of North End Baseball when he played with Chip and all the gang, while we cheered them on. Love you like a sister, God Bless

I am so very sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayer's are with the Bailey family.

Bill's passing seems so unreal. Remembering when the boys were young, I can still see Bill playing ball with all the gang. I remember the time when we had the Roy Guess Carnival, Bill had won a prize. He ran up to Linda and was so proud as he handed it to her. When I looked at Linda, she had a tear in her eye, Bill had engraved Becky's name on a necklace for her. Then there was last year at Becky's birthday, Linda & Melvin have a pool and a boy who couldn't swim was going under for the third time, Bill didn't hesitate and dove in to pull him to safety. Those and many more are the memories to treasure. God Bless you Linda, Melvin, Lola and family.

Thoughts and prayers or out to your family Bigilo! Loved you like a brother you had a huge impact on me an my family especially Logan and Karsen. We will miss you but will meet again! Until then watchover us and will never forget all the good times and memories we made.

Lola & Family

My Love & Prayers during this Most Difficult time.
