Mike, Pam and McQueen family - the joy of watching all of your minister to, care for and include Parker in all you did will be a testimony to all who ever experienced it and hear about it in the future. Thank you for being obedient to the call of loving God and loving others. Parker was a blessing to us all and now has found the healing that was delayed. He is standing tall and whole and not trapped in his frailty. We can all rejoice over that! We love you all! The Sullivan's
