To the Parker family. My sincere condolences at Don's passing. I had worked for Don at SRI as his Secretary many years ago. I remember him as being such a caring and generous person.

Dear Carolyn and family: I have not seen Bishop Parker for many years, but heard with sadness this morning in talking with your good friend Sharon Rytting that he had passed away. He was a wonderful man, a tremendous bishop. I have many favorable memories of his serving in our ward when I was a teenager. You and your family are in my prayers.

It was a wonderful experience this morning to read about Don's life. I am sorry at his passing, but am thrilled to know that this good young man I knew at BYU has been such a valient and successful person. I have spent years as a General Authority meeting leaders of the church, and I have wondered where Don was. I am sorry I didn't have a chance to see him again, but that day will come. Bless his family who will forever be strengthened by the spirit and example of Don's life.

sorry Don has left so soon. I can recall as yesterday don comming to my parents store as he attended Washington school, and going on to a wonderful life of acheivement in academics,family and the Gospel.
