Pinellas Park, FL Friday, October 16, 2009 10/16/09Dear Bailey Family;
I am so sorry to learn of our earthly loss of both Vonita and Janie. Cousins Gloria Wisner Doty and Martha Wisner Gangnath shared the sad news with me today.
My family lived in Monticello from 1936 to 1946 and we and your family did a bit of growing up somewhat together.
My sincerest condolences to all at this sad time, and may God see you through.
Love,
Eddie Wisner

Wilmar, AR Friday, October 16, 2009 What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.Janice McAllister

Bearden, AR Wednesday, October 14, 2009 so many good memories flood through my mind.i was blessed to have you as a sister-in-law and friend for many years.Jeff was the miracle baby for you and Bruce. Boy I can remember how happy Pappaw Fay and Mammaw Mamie were. After i came into the family in 1975 there so many fun times shared, taking Mammaw shopping,watching Jeff, Todd,and Miranda play together. You cooking biscuits, trying to teach me(still can't). The special times when you, Mammaw and I would lay across your bed and solve all the issues of life.this was usually before we were going shopping. They always were solved in laughter.You always had the best interest of others before your own. That's the heart of Jesus.
Bruce and Jeff in the days ahead you will be in my prayers. May the peace of God rest on you.
To Vonita I'm not saying goodbye, just I'll see you soon.
I know you are in Heaven surrounded by perfect Love
Jean
