Not sure what to say?

Happy birthday to my dear friend Mr. Parker. I've never known a finer man in all my life. Miss you every day. Heaven is a better place with you there. Love Joyce

Mr, Parker was the most wonderful man I have ever met. Neighbors for many, many years. He and his precious wife were never too busy to stop and chat. I'm sure all the angels in Heaven welcomed him home.

My brother Bill and I were friends with his son Marche. We stayed a few days with them back in the 1960's in Lebanon, Tennessee. I played a song by Walter Brennan, "Old Rivers" at least 20 times very loud not knowing that Brother Parker was trying to recover from one of his migraine headaches. He never complained about the noise. Thank you Brother Parker for being my Pastor and Baptizing me. Ron Billings Sr.

Baptized me when I was 12 . Amazing life
