John Parkhurst

Tina -
My prayers and deepest sympathy are with you and your family. I will always remember your parents as making us girls feel so welcome in your home.

Patti Linthicum (Wagner)

May the good Lord bring you peace and comfort today and during the tough days ahead. I pray that your faith remains strong. You will need to draw on it often.

I pass along this Psalm that a good friend passed on to me 4 years ago:

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit.

As the passing days turn into months and years, you will certainly grow to understand what God means when He says 'Do not be afraid,...

Nancy and the rest of the Parkhurst family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I just wanted you to know that I loved Parky (and Hattie) so much.
So many great memories from when we were kids. After getting to know both of them as an adult, that feeling became even stronger. I will miss his booming voice and his great wisdom. I know you take comfort in knowing that he is now with the loves of his life. Hattie, and the Lord.

Michael and I met Parky at John and Kristina wedding in the month of February. And I remember him being very upbeat and looking good. I have only heard good things about this man. It is wonderful he has lived such a long and full lifetime. He will be missed by all.

Nancy -
I don't know if you remember me from Loucks but I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy for your loss.
You're in my thoughts and prayers.

For the last three and a half years I have seen your Dad almost every day at Lutheran while I was visiting my parents there. He always gave a cheerful hello. He was the most enthusiastic voice in sing alongs. A very kind man. I will miss him.

Your dad never got mad, only called us "gentlemen" when we knew he wasn't happy with things being said or done.
Always remember your dad being helpful and upbeat. My deepest sympathies.
