Momma, I woke up this morning thinking how blessed I am to be able to have loved such a wonderful woman who played her drums to her own beat. I hope that you are still playing the way I remember. And no one would have ever thought to buy me a 2 lbs chocolate bunny other than you! I just love you so much and long to be able to just hold you. 

Nanny I just wanted to share this picture with you and the rest of the family and friends who love you so much! Someone special to our family sent me this photo. Soon as I seen it I instantly said "Nanny looks so much like Big MaMa in this photo!!!" You were and always will be my beautiful, loving, sweet but mean golden hearted Nanny!.!. I miss you so much!  It hurts still just as bad as it did a week and a half ago! Not 1 hour goes by that I am not thinking of you and wishing that you were still here with us! Your on my mind everyday as I'm still grieving your loss! They say it gets easier but I'm not sure how to believe what they say as its still so hard. Please continue to watch over me, the kids, Kyle and the rest of our family Nanny. You are the most beautiful loving soul we forever hold onto in our hearts now. Until next time I will continue to talk to you daily as you send me signs each time letting me know you are still here with me and hear everything Im saying to you. And until we meet again remember just how special you are still to all of us! And how lucky and thankful that we all are to have been given many years with you only to recieve your special love and memories made together to be able to share forever! We love you our amazing angel (Nanny) RIH

I can’t wait Until we are together again my beautiful mother.  I am so  honored to have had 42 years with you and to look just like you. I love you always . Rest well momma 

I am so sorry for your loss. May God comfort your mourning hearts. I pray that you find comfort in Revelation 21:3-5. This scripture paints a picture of a world that is very different from what we see today. A world with no more sickness, pain or death...and it is not a dream, it is a promise from God. He promises to reverse the effects of death and resurrect your precious Mrs Katherine. You will never have to say a painful goodbye ever again!

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom.  You are all in my heart and I’m praying for strength to help you get through this difficult time. 

Nanny sure did  love aggrevating me on purpose just so her and Felecia could get a good laugh... Your babby's will miss you

Nanny & Kylee the day we found out Kyle's step dad had cancer. She loved so big and was right by our little fams side through it all! No greater heart bigger than our Nannys. 

My most heartfelt condolences to the family of Katherine "Kitty" Bailey.  Extending hugs to Tina, Arlene, Juanita, Johnny, and Mark. My heart is heavy. I have many wonderful  memories of Kitty. I especially  remember  our bowling  birthday party for her in Chicago. She was so happy  and I even recall her dancing  to some country tunes that night. Oh, how she loved Elvis. I will always remember  her blushing when we spoke of the King.  I  always  enjoyed our chats while I  lived in Georgia and appreciated  her fun loving sense of humor. I will miss her.  Thinking of you all during this most  difficult  time of sorrow. I will hold you  all in my prayers.  And my dear friend  Tina, I love you. Praying for strength,  peace, and comfort in the days and months ahead.  And Kitty, I  will always  remember  you with  love. R.I.P. Kitty. 

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me, please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand;  The Angel said my place was ready, In Heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked through Heaven's Gates, I felt so much at home, for God looked down, smiled at me, And told me "Welcome Home." So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart.                                             She will forever be in your Heart                                                   

Momma was so excited for North Carolina being in the super bowl while she was living in NC - We went out and bought shirts. The smiles and memories will always be treasured, I love you Momma. 

So sorry for your loss.  Felecia and Kason's Hearts are broken as I'm sure Kitty's children's are also. Felecia and Kason took real good care of her and love her dearly and will miss her so much. I enjoyed talking to her she would send me pictures of Kylee so I can watch her grow and she loved Kason and Kylee so much. Her Birthday was the day after my sisters and 3 days before Garfield's (Felecia's grandfather) but the main thing they had in common was they all three loved Elvis, nobody greater than Elvis to them.  Don't worry Kitty, the Elvis doll with Love Me Tender is on its way and Flee will play it for you.  I'll miss our talks because she always made me feel better after talking to her. No matter how bad she felt or how weak she would always say, "oh I'm ok a little stiff today but ok.  Well she won't have any of that pain any more! I'll miss you too, Priscilla

Braves game!
Kitty played the shake your booty game to get all the balls out of the container.  What a great memory!

Tina & family, 
Our hearts are broken for you. Kitty was such a special person and will be deeply missed. Thank you for sharing her with us,  we truly enjoyed our time with her. I hope you find peace knowing she is no longer in pain and is in Heaven.  I guarantee she is already dancing and shaking that leg ;)
We love you and are here for you.
Chris, Amey & Haley

The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. — Psalms 34:17-18
