Farewell my family, dont weep
For Im at peace now, just asleep.
Farewell my family, Im not alone.
The Mighty Maker has led me safely home.
Just think back over the many years,
How THE FAMILY SEEMED SO STRONG, HOLDING BACK TEARS.
Yet God somehow always made a way
AND I THANKED HlM EVERY NIGHT FOR ANOTHER DAY.
Be good my family, always love each other.
Be strong my family, strong in heart.
The blood ties, no one can ever part.
And if somewhere I made a mistake
As YOU live many will you make.
Farewell my family, Ive been called away.
Walk with God, trust in God
Each and every day.
The family of Mr. Fred Lewis Bailey would like to express
our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have shown us love
through prayers, calls, cards, food, visits, and other thoughts
of kindness during our time of bereavement. We have felt
your love and kindness. ' Love, The Bailey Family

I WILL LIFT UP MINE EYES UNTO THE HILLS,
FROM WHENCE COMETH MY HELP.
MY HELP COMETH FROM THE LORD,
WHICH MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
HE THAT KEEPETH THEE WILL NOT SLUMBER.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel
SHALL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP.
The Lord is thy keeper:
the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day,
NOR THE MOON BY NIGHT.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
HE SHALL PRESERVE THY SOUL.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out
AND THY COMING IN FROM THIS TIME FORTH,
AND EVEN FOR EVERMORE.
