The Rev. Andrew David Parker

While walking on the beach today in Galveston, I found this rock, wondering if it´s the same Andy? Condolences to the family.

My family and I are blessed beyond words to have had the honor of knowing Andy. He made the world a better place.

My heart is heavy with this news, received today.Our limited time as co-workers in the Diocese of NW Texas allowed me to get to know you and greatly value you. Your wonderful, warm presence never failed to engage others and reveal God's love. Thank you for your faithful search to grow and to love.
Go well, loving servant and friend.
