Sherry Bailey,
Dear Uncle,
When I think of you, I begin to tear up and smile at the same time! 🥹♥️ I have made solace with the fact that two emotions CAN exist at the same time. I’m sad because I miss you in this physical realm, but my soul is rejoicing because I know you’re just sleeping…. I will cherish all the memories of you, I love you forever and always!! Love Always your 1st Niece
P.S. I will always protect my face❤️

I met Carlos when he lived in California we went to school together. He was funny always clowning and he would tease me a lot but all in fun. Maybe about 3 or 4 years ago we reconnected on facebook and we talked a couple of times on messenger reminiscing on old times. I’m glad we reconnected and I will always cherish the memories. R.I.P Carlos gone but not forgotten.🙏🏽🙏🏾

Uncle,
My heart simply can’t let you go. I will forever cherish the many conversations we shared, your protective stance over me and the laughter we always shared while you encouraged and supported me. I will forever love and honor you. I know you’re happy to see your “Cutty” boy and I just know he ran straight to you as he always did excited to see his uncle Dody. The girls and I will forever cherish our memories of you and will find peace in knowing that you are no longer suffering but rejoicing in heaven. Love always your,
TidyBo (Tiease)

Oh Uncle 😢🙏🏽 I’m really going to miss hearing your voice, your jokes and all the funny moments…like that time we had that big brawl down at the city hall 😅 and we had to make a run for it 🏃🏾♀️💨 or the time when you were a bus driver for the Pasadena Arts Bus (The free bus) and how you use to wait everyday to close the door on the late & silly kids, which happed to be your nieces (Me & Tiff) our friends and your nephews (Johnathan & Cameron)😂, but after we found our own way home you were right there being our regular fun and crazy uncle. I’m so grateful for all the memories of the times we spent together and how you always had our back! I admire your heart of forgiveness and your posture of protection. Rest in the arms of the Almighty!
One thing that I am sure of is my uncle was right with God so on that note see you again Uncle aka Deacon Bailey 😭 I love you!!!
Love Always,
