Hi Dad, I think of you and Mom every day, especially when we were children. We had so much fun. Thankful always that we were always well taken care of. I loved all the holidays, we always had the biggest turkeys, and you and Mom were the best cooks. I remember all the holidays when we would go camping when we were children. I’m going to send this message up to you, so you and Mom can smile. Love always m+d Dale XOXO - Posted by: Dale Leta Bailey (Daughter) on: Nov 22, 2018

Please accept my condolences on the passing of your father (Uncle Wayne Grant Burlen Bailey). It was an honor to have known such a loving, kindhearted man. I have fond memories of my uncle when he used to visit Montreal. He was always smiling when I saw him and that always warmed my heart as a young girl. I’ll never forget my trip to Winnipeg when I visited his children and I visited him at his house. His smile reminded me of my mom (Dale Bailey Lafleur). He will be missed by many.
