Kenwood blood runs deep. I remember Austin and Marvin tagging along as kids with sisters Carlye and Janea. As a parent my heart aches for Ms. Sue and Mike. I pray God's comfort and strength for you during this time.

Mike, Sue, Danya, and Carlye.
I cant express how sorry I am for your loss. All I can think about is how he would run into the wall when he was a kid and fall down. Charley and Marjorie will be with him now.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathy and condolences to The Parks family. I had the joy of Austin being my classroom Assistant back in the summer of 2007, and then with him as a student the following year in The Lead the Way Summer Program. Gone within such a short period of life, he is now within The House of the Lord assisting him. May The Parks family find peace during this time of sadness. Mr. Drew CSTC/Lead The Way
