Grandma Bailey was always close to my heart. I will always remember her
for when she either called me Darlin' or Grama's Little Boy as well!!!
When I had to move away fromOrrville back in October 1980 to attend a
very special school in Belleville it really brought a tear to her eye but knew
what had to be done for yours truly was for the good of the family and of
course myself and it was!!!
When it came to coming home to Orrville for a visit she always welcomed
me with open arms and the first words that came out of her if she could was
"Do you want to sleep here tonight" or "Do you want to stay for
supper Tonight?!!!" and of course the answer was always "A big
"Yes!"
It was always nice to not only to have a visit with her but with her
Brother my Uncle Russell and her two dogs Scout and Velvet at the James Street
address she had always called home pretty much all her life in Orrville!!! Yes, and
Grama Nellie was not only extremely devoted to us all but was also devoted to
her Bible and her many Church friends including the Mennonites who always came
by when I was there and always said "Joe you are truly God's Little Boy"! Grandma Nellie is a big reason why I am where
I am today. She had always taught me how to believe in myself as well!!!
Now not only Grama Bailey is moving into her new home along with Grampa
Orland and her siblings My Grama Orla, my Aunt's Edie, Carol and Doris but
Uncle Gerald as well up in the High Heavens but she will now be living right
next door to my Mom Laura, Grandmother Annie and my Grandfather Clarence Tuck
who are with no doubt giving her a welcome wagon Heaven style!
