Dear Judy-You and Mark have been so kind to our family at the state fair. It was with surprise when we saw you, Mark and your son at the Harnett County Fair in May. Having experienced much trauma in our own family with the loss of our son Matthew-our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mark was truly a unique individual that made an unmistakeable impression on us all. May your memories and the love you shared endure and carry you for eternity. God bless, Robin. Emily & Adrian West

Dear Judy, Josh, Jonas and Simon,
Please know that we are thinking of you
and praying for all of you. Mark will be
missed by so many people as he was such
a wonderful all round person. Am sitting here looking at a photo of him
holding a batch of kittens when he was
maybe 11 or 12. He was so loving to
everyone and every little creature. He
is in my heart ALWAYS AND FOREVER.
God Bless You Mark Parrish!!
Love, Cousin Gail
