Entire Parrish Family
I was so saddened to learn of Tim's passing. While I have not seen Tim for better than 20+ years, I can still remember the times He, Fred, and I used to share. He was a wonderful person then as I know he continued to be. Please take comfort in the knowledge that He is now home with our Lord and being well taken care of, and that one day we will be able to be with him again. My prayers and thoughts go out to all your family at this time.
