"Erwin was a nice and very happy person to work with at Aflac. He always had a smile on his face and managed to share that smile and influence others to smile. It's shocking to see he is gone, he is a very caring person. Even though he is not physically here, his legacy lives forever. My prayers goes out to his family and close friends. God knows what's best." - Jasmin Jordan

"Erwin gone but never forgotten”! Erwin was a gentle spirit always willing to go the extra mile. Never will our memories fade of you. To the Bailey Family; God will strengthen you…So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isa 41:10 Your family is in my prayers!
Erwin had a listening ear. He gave his undivided attention. He spoke and allowed room for feedback. He was not judgmental, but a good leader. I knew Erwin from working at Aflac. He was just a mild person with very good manners and respect. To the Bailey family, take comfort in knowing that he is resting with the lord.
Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints
We lost a dear friend far too soon. You will forever linger in the halls of Aflac-looking to comfort co-workers and friends in your gentle way. Thank you for your service to our country & to Aflac. God bless the Bailey Family as they go through each day without your physical presence. Your spirit stays with all who love you! Goodbye friend, we will miss you!
It was truly a joy to work with Erwin here at AFLAC. What I will remember most about him is his big smile, and big heart. He was always asking "is everything alright"? He had a heart of gold. He gave of his time & talent. I feel that the lord is smiling with him now, and saying "JOB WELL DONE". I would like to say to the family that you are in our prayers. Be blessed!!!
May God continue to keep you close and to help you through this time of sorrow. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
Erwin’s death will leave us with heartaches no one can heal. Gained friendships and love leave memories no one can steal. As you cope with this profound loss, let yourselves cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens. May reminiscing through memories help comfort your tomorrows. My deepest sympathy to the Bailey family during this time of sorrow.
We come to earth for our lifetime and for some it's not many years.
Naturally we feel the loss and shed many tears.
Erwin hasn't really left, even though it may seem so.
He has just gone to his heavenly home and is closer than we know.
But he'll still send messages and he hopes we understand,
That when our time comes to cross over,
He'll be there to take our hand.
RIP my friend.
A man for being a man dies with his body and not his memories of being a good husband, a father, a grandfather, a son, a brother, a friend and a fellow. As Erwin departed, his thoughts will remain forever. May his soul rest in the kingdom of our HEAVENLY FATHER.
My sincerest sympathy and condolence

Hello to the Bailey family. Erwin was a great person, you all are great people. I will never forget Erwin, Marilyn, Connie and all of you, we all went to Lanier and Lanett schools together. Erwin will be missed. My prayers are with you all. Mrs. Ernestine be strong. Much love.
I have known Erwin and "The Bailey Family" the majority of my life, but he really became "my friend" after not having seen eachother in years, then finding out that we were both working at Aflac. He was such an awesome person who was never ashamed to profess his love for God and his family. I'll miss the talks, the laughs and most of all his smile! R.I.P. Home-Team. Cynthia Shorter
