Anthony, Shannon, Jane, Raymond, Marie and all other family members.

We have been on vacation and just heard this sad news yesterday (8/15) thru my sister Marnella, after Nancy had called her. We finally got home today (Mon) and will be in touch with you soon.

We remember your visit with us when

Parker was about six months old and

how loving he was to both of us, as

if he had always known us. Our love

to all of you.
