Mr. Baylog was the nicest, kindest man, the best husband. The love that he had for his wife here at Alexandria Manor, floored so many of us. We all wish to have that kind of love story. His smile and stories lit all of our lives who had the pleasure of talking to him. Our heart aches that such a wonderful man is gone. We here at A.M. loved that man. So very very sorry he is gone.
The staff at Alexandria Manor

Alice, Joe, Carol and family,
I am so sorry for your… our loss. I should say losses, because I have not come to grips with Cousin Helen being gone, and hearing of the loss of Alice’s Steve.
My memories of Cousins Joe, Catherine and Helen are of my earliest. They were the “babies” of that generation, compared to my Dad, Aunt Mary and my uncles. Cousin Joe’s kindness, sensitivity, humor and intelligence was always a joy for me and a source of pride in my kin. Who will sing Hungarian songs for our family now that Cousin Helen is singing with the Angles?
It truly hurts me that I can not be with you tonight and during these times. I am sorry we live so far apart and have not seen more of each other than we have. Hopefully that will change.
Love and prayers from West Virginia.
Alan, Gwen and Warren

Ali and family, I am so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of your father. I am happy that I got to meet him and take a walk on the railroad bed in Tannersville several years ago. It was nice to hear that he was just out camping days before his passing, doing what he loved in life.
I think we all would sign up for passing at 86 years old with an active life.
Warm regards,
Diane
