Shirley and family; I am so sorry to hear of Earl's passing. I'm so glad I climbed up in the truck and sat and talked with him while we waited for you to finish grocery shopping. Thinking of you

Dear Family,
"Well done, good and faithful servant...Enter into the joy of your Lord." Matthew 25:21. We all have fond memories of Earl. May all those memories warm you, bring smiles just when you need them and mend the hole in your heart. May God lift you up and envelop you in healing love. Within our hearts the ones we love are never really gone-in spirit and in memory their legacy lives on.
Prayers and love, The Bayley Family
