We hope you are at peace now sitting around a giant table with our beloved Bayley girl and all those close to you , friends and family. Drink a bourbon manhattan for us and relax now. Your suffering is over.
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again
May you keep safe.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that everyone stop and take a moment to appreciate all that is around you.
