Not sure what to say?

One thing is for certain-the beloved Mrs. Parks had a first class ticket to Heaven. She accomplished what ten individuals would in one lifetime. A profound inspiration. I had the privilege of spending a semester in one of her famous classes at SU-I´d visit her during office hours, and she would encourage me in not just my studies, but my chaotic personal life. Such wisdom and compassion. Until we meet again, Mrs. Parks

Don, I'm sorry for your loss. And, very sorry we have not stayed in touch over the years! I would love to reconnect with you!

Mrs. Parks was a woman who radiated grace, joy and love. When I visited her home when she lived in Vermont and her children were young, I thought this is a fantastic mother. Chaotic love surrounded her as her children all wanted her approval of their many projects. She was relaxed, assured and happy, and while talking to me, she also responded to the children. What a fantastic mother! Much Love and Blessings, Jennifer Cover Payne

Tranquil Moments Peace Lily

I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. Francis was such a generous, gracious, and loving soul who touched our lives. Her friendship with my mother brought her peace and love and I will always be grateful for her kindness.

My deepest condolences to the family. Frances was great in everything she did. We worked together for NESCO. Every thing she did she put her all into it. I will miss her smile, her great greetings when ever we met. There is so much that an be said about her but I will say she will be greatly missed.

My deepest condolences to the Parks family during this time. Francis was an incredible woman whose dedication to education and her many achievements left a lasting impact on so many. May her wisdom and kindness continue to inspire those who had the privilege of knowing her. Wishing you comfort and peace in the days ahead

For the privilege of having been embraced by the wisdom, kindness and love of dear Francis I will always be grateful.

What a sorry day. Mrs. Parks (I could never get myself to call her Francis) brought me flowers for almost every birthday since I met her. I always said that when she was in a room she made me stand straighter and speak softer. I will miss her as will many others.
