Thinking of you all at this sad time. We have fond memories of Mr Bailey and have missed running into him on Henderson Highway. I am sitting looking at an ornament of a girl (Rob named her Fred!) that we received from you when we got engaged. - Posted by: Robert & Sue Palsson (Old neighbour) on: Mar 23, 2019
