Dear Janet and Parrish,
Oh my God!!! I just heard last night. My heart aches for all of you. I cannot even imagine what you are going through. Parrish touched soooooo many lives in a way that will live on with them forever. Just looking at all the postings and outpouring of love is a tribute to a wonderful young man who is loved and missed by more people than you could even imagine. Please let your family and friends help and carry you through this devistating time. To say that my thoughts and prayers are with you is an understatement. I want to help. Please contact me. I have desperately been trying to find a way to contact you directly since I heard, but have been unable to.
Love,
Julie Stanton

Parrish,
I will miss you more than words can say and for the rest of my life. You will be in my heart forever and I will try to live up to your standards to be a better person, to be positive all the time and never say a bad word about anyone. Your bright blue eyes and comforting smile will be missed by all! I may have lost a cousin, friend, brother, and son, but I have gained a gaurdian angel.
With all my love,

Our entire school has come together over the death of your son. I personally didn't know Parrish but I remember seeing him at FCA and in the halls. Kids who didn't even know him or barely knew him are now missing that boy that would've been a great asset to their life. It was so quiet at the school today because so many of NFHS students went to the funeral to say that final goodbye to a great friend. I know that even more will be at the Vigil next week, and I'll be one of those people paying my respects to Parrish. My heart goes out to you and your family and you'll be in our prayers. He will never be forgotten.

i did not personally know parrish. im more familiar with his cousin josh and a few of his close friends. i know what it feels like to lose a close friend at a young age. my heart and prayers go out to the beach family and all those who were close with parrish. he is now in a better place, and though no one can understand why he was taken at such a young age - i just always try to remember and think to myself that God has a plan for everyone. maybe parrish was sent here for this short amount of time to impact others lives - from what i saw at visitation yesterday, alot of lives have been touched by this amazing young man. again, my condolences to the beach family. <3

I am a complete stranger to you. I do not know you and have never met you. However,a friend contacted me about your sons death and I wanted to express my sincere condolences. I lost my two daughters, ages 15 and 16 due to a car accident and I know your pain. Know that there is no one that knows, unless they have endured the same. I pray for you! I will continue to pray for you. But know, your son is OK. And although your loss seems unbearable, he is in such a wonderful place. My heart goes out to you.

Parrish & Janet:
My heart goes out to you & your family as you are going through these tough tough times right now and for the days to come, as I too know exactly what you all are feeling right now, I too lost a child, and lost my husband at the same time. It's the most worse pain that any parent or wife can go through, there are lots of ups and downs throughout the days to follow, but with GOD'S loving arms, he will hold you tight and not let you down. When I lost my 2, I thought I was gonna go crazy, but I prayed alottttttttttttt to GOD and asked him for the strength to get through this and he has listened and still listens when I ask it of him. I promise you, your prayers will be heard, and if GOD see's it fit to do something you ask for, have NO DOUBT, it will be done.
HUGSSSSSSSSSS HUGSSSSSSSS HUGSSSSSSSSSSS OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, "GOD" BLESS YOU ALL.

i found out about the loss of your son through myspace.com when a young friend asked me to please help others know about this amazing new angel named Parrish.
I'm sure she asked me to help because my daughter kelli was killed in Fort Mill when she was 18, so i do understand.
there are no words to make it better or fix it. you will find ways to take another baby step each day. please feel free to contact me anytime.
i'm crushed for your loss. i am sending my kelli vibes to find Parrish and show him around the new place.
much love, tears & big hugs
pam, still kelli's mommy

I never met Parrish, and didn't even know his name until it was announced on the intercom of the accident. Ever since he has pasted, I have cried every night. I can't imagine loosing a child, especially so young. Just know, that the death of your wonderful and bright son has changed my life. I think about him constantly now, and my eyes tear up. The Lord had a plan, and trust him, he will heal. God bless you.<3

I'm so very sorry to see Parrish leave, but I know deep down that he is looking down on all of us laughing b/c he got to see Jesus first. He was amazing and I'm very sad to see him go, but I'm happy that he is ok in heaven now. I'm very sorry for your loss. WE MISS YOU PARRISH!
