It's been two years since you left us and there is not a day that goes by that we don't think of you. We see within the sunlight, a vision of your face.

We love you and miss you dearly! Chris, Janis, Alyssa & Ryan Published in the Albany Times Union on 9/16/2004. Bailey, Ron (Memoriam) BAILEY Ron, Dear Dad, We think of you in silence, and speak your name often, but all that is left to answer us, is a picture in a frame. You wished not one of us farewell, no one ever said good-bye. You were gone before we knew it, and God only knows why. A golden heart stopped beating, your tender hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best. To some you are forgotten, to others part of the past, but to those who love you dearly, Your memory will always last. We love and miss you with all our hearts and souls forever! All our love Chris, Janis, Alyssa and Ryan Published in the Albany Times Union on 9/16/2004. Baker, Harriet W. BALLSTON SPA Harriet W.
