Mr. Baylor's in a better place right now
Than he's ever been before;
All pain is gone; he’s now at rest;
Nothing troubles him anymore.


It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.


We know we’ll reconnect with him
At the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see his cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.

I am sorry for your lost and may God comfort you in your time of mourn my prayers go out to you.

The Baylor Family
May God Bless each of you during this time of sorrow and parting.
I had the opportunity to work with Bill as a professional colleague on numerous occasions while I served as a Superintendent in Hampton District Two. He was professional in every way but went beyond platitudes in his care and concern for each person on the committee and for the success of all involved. It was my gain to have him as a friend and confidant as we traveled on our journey as educators. together on state committees developing personnel plans for the recruitment of teachers throughout the state.
My heartfelt sympathy reaches out in my prayers for your entire family.

We extend our Christian love and heartfelt sympathy to the Baylor family. May the Divine Comforter bring peace and solace to your sad hearts.

Isaiah 51:11 reads, "Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head; they shall obtain a gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away".

Lift up your heads and be strong and find comfort and consolation in the words of Jesus, who said, "Cast your burdens on Him, for earth has no sorrows that Heaven cannot heal".

The hymnologist says, "We are our Heavenly Father's children and he knows just how much we can bear. Your load may get heavy, just ask for strength and keep on toiling even as the teardrops fall. You have God's assurance that he will always answer your prayer".

We are praying at this very moment that time and prayer will ease your sorrows and bid you hope, through the master of all life, that you will see Brother Baylor again.

May God bless and keep you in his care.

I would like to extend to you all my most heartfelt sympathies on the death on your Father (Husband). I only knew William in his capacity as one of the most outstanding person at the Berkeley County School System (Personnel Department), but that was enough to give me an appreciation for his talents, warmth and generosity of spirit. I will always remember William and feel very fortunate to have known him. I hope that you all can find some small comfort in your good memories and in the thought of the happy years you all shared.

Mr. Baylor's encouraging words will forever remain etched into my mind and spirit. He praised me for my accomplishments and taught me many valuable life lessons. I was always eager to share my successes with him and then watch as a big smile stretched across his face. He was instrumental in helping me to obtain my first teaching position, and he challenged me to strive for higher heights. As an administrator in Horry County Schools, I think of him often and will always remember him as a true motivator and role model.

To the Baylor family: I worked with Bill many years ago at GCHS. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word, one of the finest, nicest persons I have ever known. May the wonderful memeories you have of him guide you through the years to come without him. We were lucky to have had him as long as we did. The world will be a little bit sadder without him.
