To a much beloved Father when I needed one most who was more like a mentor for a troubled young man, who met through circumstances and became part of the family as a Fostered Son and older brother two an already house hold of a lovely wife and daughter and 2 outrageous bright sons.
We had good times and some not so, but love was never an issue, and after all these years I finally found the family again and had a great conversation a few weeks ago, just to lose you all over again by God’s Hand.
I’ll truly mourn and miss you my best friend, 2nd Dad and mentor. Jim Bailey, I promise to look in on Momma Bonnie and help as I can🙏🏻. Your truly blessed and will always be missed.
Please say hello to Daryl for me. Love Always
