Dear Mike Tim Gary and family

It was a great privilege to know your father, Dr Bailey, when we attended Northmont church in Englewood. His prayers and his teaching still inspire us and we quote one of his lessons here. "If you want to know where God is working, look to see which way most of the world is going, then turn the opposite direction and watch for Him where few are walking." We took his advice and are overseas now. While we will miss the service, we keep your family covered in prayer. T&S
