Not sure what to say?

Jimmy was my brother-in-law. We were the same age. I admired him so much in many ways. He was a titan in the financial planning world, but that wasn´t what really defined him. His Christian character was his most obvious trait, especially in the many ways he reached out to those in need. It comforts me to know that Jimmy was called home to be with the Lord because it was God´s perfect timing for him. The glory that Jimmy is experiencing now is beyond words, and I look forward to being with him.

It gives me comfort to know that Jimmy was called home at the precise time the Lord wanted him. He is in glory now, and we have to possess an ironclad assurance that this is so.

Mary Jane and all the family I know this is a difficult time of the year, but if it gives you any comfort I am certain Jim's spirit is around you all. I wish your family Peace and Grace in this Christmas season. God Bless.....

Thinking of you all this Christmas season-may your memories sustain you all. Jack & Janice Glasser

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I had the honor of reporting to Jim while at Morgan Keegan. Jim was the most kind and giving soul that I ever worked for. His passion for helping guide others to a more successful life was almost overwhelming. I am a better person because of Jim Parrish.

Dear MaryJane, Bo, Anne Wade and Grandkids, We are so sorry for the loss of Jimmy, he was such a kind man & one of my heroes! I have known Jimmy & Mary Jane from Grade School days-such a sweet couple. I would imagine that my brother, Joe, & Jimmy are playing tennis & golf together somewhere in Heaven! our thoughts & prayers are with you all! Jack Glasser,MD & Janice Glasser

My heart breaks for Jim´s family, he was always such an uplifting and sweet, sweet man. Never saw him without a smile on his face and always kind words to say. He will be missed by many.

Jimmy and Mary Jane are 2 of the nicest people I have ever met while here on the gulf coast. Jimmy had a warm and inviting smile that radiated friendship. Our hearts here in Santa Rosa Beach hurt with the loss of Jimmy and we all want to offer our support to Mary Jane and the family during this difficult time. Jimmy you will be missed by us all. Prayers to your family.
