I loved Courtney from our many meetings at Camp Monterey with Mary Beatty and Judy Weston. We shared many summers and lots of laughter. My condolences to all her loved ones

I knew Courtney for a long time. At 17, I was dating her brother Jay and met her then. At 23, I married Jay and she was in our wedding. Our relationship was very sisterly. I started thinking about all the fun things we did during our many times together. I value every single one of them, and I´m grateful to have known Courtney Ann Parker Dunlap. God bless her and all her family. kk

Courtney had been a dear friend since we were 5 years old. I am so very sorry to hear of her passing. We last got together at our 60th class reunion with her son, Charles, and his wife. We will all miss her!!! Loyal and I both send our condolences to Hugh, Charles, and the whole family. Love you all, Judy and Loyal
