We Send You On With Love and Gratitude

It has taken my until today to be able to post this.

September 1, 2011, my father, Robert B. Bailey, was finally released from the 88 year old frame that had come to be his shackle. He is free again to fly.

Dad's release was peaceful and painless after a day spent joking with his family. We should all be so lucky. He is loved and his wisdom and counsel will be missed, but he owes us nothing. The debt is ours for all his has done for us. Our only chance to repay him is to pass on what he taught us and to do good when we can. Thank you for everything, Dad. We love you.
