David G. Parkman

Amy-Lynn and Erick, I was sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. When when we were all much younger, we shared a lot of good times together. As those before me have written, we have some fond memories of time gone by that will always be cherished in our hearts. I love you both. Auntie Dottie

I was sad to hear that Uncle Dave left us. I have many great memories of him. We had some good times!!! I will miss him.
