THANK YOU ALL!In my opinion, this is one of the most important pages on this site. Without the help, patience and understanding of so many people, this site would never have been. First, I must thank my parents, Gail and Clarisse Bailey Towslee. For making it a priority that I know who my people were and are. My children, Joseph and Halee. They have taught me to appreciate being an ascendent as well as a descendant; they have taught me that there really is a "bigger" picture. To my husband Darryl, who taught me that dreams are meant to be realized. He gave me the resources, the tutelage (Oh Great and Powerful HTML God!), as well as the love and support that I needed to begin and continue this labor of love. To my Aunt's, Aquila Mae Bailey Layne for her unconditional love for as long as I can remember and my Aunt Mona Kay Bailey Mitchell for teaching me wonderful life lessons, and to both of them for lending me their pictures, news clippings, obituaries and memories. To my maternal Grandparents George and Offie Boyd Bailey, for raising superb children and for instilling a strong sense of family in them. To Ma-Maw for her smile and gentle humor and Pa-Paw for his hugs. To Cheryl, who has always known what I could do, even when I didn't. She is the sister I always wanted and now am fortunate to have. I also want to thank all those people at Rootsweb for providing so much in the way of information and support. The Website Administrators of the KYFloyd Webpage, the OHMedina Webpage and the ClanBoyd Webpage and the associated mailing lists. Thanks to Alan Williams for sharing his information with me and getting me on the right path. |
