Sioux Falls SDBrad and family members, Our sympathies and prayers go out to you at the loss of your mother. Always kind and sweet to me. I enjoyed talking with her whenever I could. Great sense of humor and a “kidder”. There is a special place in heaven for the gentle ones and no doubt she is there.
Harrisonburg VAI am very sorry to hear of your loss. I, like my sister, have many memories from years ago when we spent time at the Baillie home. Wanda was always very kind to us and very welcoming. Her home was our home. Our world today needs more people like Wanda Baillie and homes such as hers.
Danbury CTSo sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Spent many times together when we were little. She watched us when Mom and Dad had to go out of town. Always felt at home and had fun with the Bailie family. Got to see her a lot when I was still living in Fargo and working at Moorhead Herbergers. She was always smiling and laughing and enjoyed visiting with her. She will be missed!!

I know Wanda will be greatly missed by all of her family. She was truly a fun, loving person whom I have known for over 50 years. When my twins were small Wanda would come over in the evening and we would sit and fold dozens of diapers. Many other great memories of our times together. I hope they have a bingo parlor in heaven……

I always admired her, and would laugh about her funny comments she made when she didn’t like something, but she had humor about alot of things. I will miss her, even though I haven’t seen her for quite awhile, and will have good memories! My prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this sad and difficult time! I know that you will treasure all of the great memories!

Waupaca WII’m terribly sorry to learn of Wanda’s death through her son Brad. I never met her but feel she must have been a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother because she raised a wonderfully kind and loving son in Brad. Thinking of the Bailie family during these difficult times. (Sandy’s mother Barbara)
