THANK-YOU NOTE FROM JANET BAILEY'S FAIRMONT FRIEND

 


Well, I still don’t know who the late Janet Bailey’s long-ago friend in her 60s is but at least I know the person lives in Fairmont. Above is the latest mystery missive about Janet.

When Janet passed away February 7 the anonymous author told about working for the State with Janet 30 years ago and what a friendly, loving person Janet was then. And, as others pointed out after the original article, remained that way till she passed away at the age of 54. Much too young, obviously.

The girl from Hog Lick Hollow continues to touch so many lives, even from Heaven.

Even though Janet didn’t attend Monongah High her father, John Bailey, is buried on Tower Hill in Monongah, she was on Susan Staron Sanders’ Monongah Christmas Lights Committee and her family was in the Marion County Rescue Squad along with other good folks from Monongah. Janet would visit her dad’s grave often, too.

I can hear Janet now, walking up to St. Peter and saying, “Hey, Babe!” I would love to be there to see the reaction on pious Pete’s face!
