To the Parker Family on behalf of my brother Marc and myself Alan Barrows we extend our deepest sympathies at the passing of Uncle Paul.
Family ties are important and is that bond that makes up the fabric of life.
“You are my fortress, my place of safety; you are my god, and I trust you.”

One of the many sweet memories I have of PopPop is visiting him and MomMom during the summer and exploring their basement. It was full of treasures and PopPop would tell me about every piece there. His deep voice giving me the history of each piece of furniture or keepsake is forever in my memory. I will see you again PopPop.

Paula I am not really good at these things but I am really sorry to hear about your dad. I can remember all the things he did. He was a nice man. I think he had a good life. Time heals all.

My favorite memory of my dear Grandpop is of him coming to visit for the holidays. He and Grandmom would come with a trunk full of presents wrapped in tissue paper and Sunday comic strips. Grandpop would always be ready to take us for a walk somewhere. I had few but very precious conversations on my walks to school with him. Have a wonderful time with Aunt Cheryl Grandpop!
Love,
Your Grandaughter,
