Bailee was a very intelligent and talented young man. He enjoyed riding horses, playing sports and video games. He loved helping his older sister Hannah do her homework. He was his younger brother, Micah's, playmate and protector. Bailee was very generous and loved to give gifts. He was also a faithful Christian and a lover of Jesus.

Bailee wanted to be a Fireman. Just before he died, he asked me "Mom, are you sure that I will grow up to save 100's of lives?"

And I said, "Absolutely!"

Since Bailee's passing, hundreds of lives have already been touched. The outpour of prayers, love, and generosity has been amazing. There were over 400 people at Bailee's funeral and during that powerful tribute to Bailee's life, 27 people raised their hands and came to the Lord. Our hope is that this web site will keep Bailee's legacy alive, to save hundred's of lives. Please share this web site with everyone you know, read the blogs and let it touch your heart!

I am certain that during this horrible tragedy, God did not abandon me...he held me.

God Bless!
