I am so very sorry hearing of the passing of Mr. Parker. I have so many wonderful memories of his love for his family and especially his love for his daughter Linda. I spent many a night with Linda and Mr. Parker was so thoughtful, especially so in the winter, cleaning off both our cars and warming them up for us. He and his family were so very kind to me and my parents over the years. I know how very much your family will miss him but also how very happy Linda and Mrs. Parker will be to have him in Heaven with them. Please find comfort in the fact that you had so many wonderful years with him and I know he surrounded you all with his love and faith. My sincere condolences.

Earl deserves to be remembered for the part he played in getting Our Savior's started. I am so grateful for the time he spent telling me about the history of the church and its growth. He and Ginny were great role models for the younger people they knew. I hope they are together again.
