I was saddened to read about the passing of Midge. From the first time we met, she reminded me a socialite, the kind that cares so much for others and is so very genuine in her relationships. My mom and dad loved spending time with your mom and dad. The antique car club was instrumental in making such great memories for our families. My mom passed away a little over two years ago, and now I am the memory keeper and I am blessed that the Parks family is a part of those special memories. You have friends, family, and your faith to help you through this time. You are not alone and my thoughts are with you all as you bid farewell to a very special lady. Julie Brouillette Parlier, E.
