Dear Parker Family,
It was an honor to know Ms. Parker. I enjoyed watching her interact with her grandchildren each morning while they ate breakfast at Dreamkeepers Academy. She always brightened my day with a word of encouragement or endearment. May you all find comfort in the Lord!

Praise God! Your loved is no longer suffering, she is no longer in pain. Although "Aunt Ruth" is missed and you mourn the thought of not having her here with you, please keep in mind, she still lives; not in the way we remember her, but in a much better painfree way. Think about that every time you feel sad, and smile for her. (vickie Griffin Walker)

Parish,
Although I never met your mother, I am certain she was a WONDERFUL woman because you are. You have shared with us your mother's journey to this point and demonstrated her teachings. She was courageous and strong, and I know that she is taking her much deserved rest in the Masters arms; safe and secure. I pray for you and your family's comfort and peace during this time. You will miss her, but she has left you with a legacy of God's love, dignity, honor, respect, and humility.
Love ya much
