Sending prayers to your family. Edith you are in my thoughts every day. I pray for comfort and peace during this difficult time.
The Baileys lived behind us in Maywood Manor. I remember David at a very young age. My brothers and basically same aged neighborhood kids played together. Kickball, baseball, nighttime tag(I forget what we called it) We moved to Valley Mills area later but David was in my graduating class so I would see him of course. Always kind, (he was a mean little shit of course when we were young) but always loved him. His kindness to my parents was genuine. When he lived out of state and visited he’d stop by to see mom and dad. Mom would be tickled. I believe she babysat for him when we were really young. With 4 brothers what’s one more. May you rest in peace David. My heart is heavy. I’m so sad for your mom and sister and the rest of the family. I don’t have the heart to tell Russ of David’s passing. He will be crushed. Sending love to you all.
Such a good man. Will be truly missed by many
