James Parkin

It was my privilege to be a partner to Jim for 15 years. He was honest, easy to get along with, and extremely competent. He and Bonnie were close friends. I will always be grateful for him. Michael Stevens

It is hard to believe that it has been a year. I still miss him. He was a great partner and friend. Love Mike Stevens

I first met Dr Parkin 35 years ago with my Mom. She had been diagnosed with mouth cancer and was scared to death that day. I remember we met with Dr Parkin and he was so kind and understanding. He realized what she was feeling. He put he mind at ease as well as the rest of us. He assured her that this would be taken care of and cured. After her surgery it was a challenge but she got through it and started on with the rest of her life cancer free. Bless you forever Dr Parkin. We as her...

I remember when President and Bonnie first arrived in the UK for their mission. It was honour to call them my mission president and mum. Their faith,love and nfluence have had a huge impact on my life. President is a gentle, faithful, loveable, good humoured hero who will always be forever in my heart. Lots of love to Bonnie and all the family. Til we meet again President xxx #ELSMforever xx Anne x(Sister Dickinson, Lincoln England)

President and Sister Parkin were such wonderful people and helped make us all feel special whenever they came to visit our ward in Poole. President Parkin's stories were legendary. Please know that He and Sister Parkin had such a far reaching influence for good here in the UK and so many people will be sad to hear this news. I hope your faith will give you great peace at this time. Natalie Furbank, Poole UK

We remember with fondness your ELSM service and frequent visits to Poole. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Tony & Evey Furbank and Family

Bonnie, I am so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. What a great man! It's difficult to say "goodbye" to those we love so much, even though we know it is a temporary parting. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Gayle Freeman

Brett, I am sorry for your loss. May Heaven's blessing comfort you and your family.
