There are many who marry into the Moore Family who become so endeared and dedicated, that the word "in-law" is waived. Cousin Lee Parker was one of them. From his courtship with "Laine" to his quiet eternal rest Lee Parker always exemplified a true example of a good man. Committed and dedicated to his family.

Take your rest couz,

Chelle and Vernie
