Dear, Dear Mrs. Parrish this is to (Thank you)in the biggest way possible:



** To thank you for all your time you spent being a second Mom to all us Girl Scouts throughout the years.



** To thank you for all your patience and understanding with a bunch of misfit girls wanting to grow up all to fast.



** To thank you for showing us how pitch a tent, build a campfire, act in Christmas plays and put on numerous wonderful Luaus complete with Hawaiian grilled fish and little anxious Hula dancers.



** To thank you for sharing in all our joys of learning how to share, have responsibility and most all have fun.



** To thank you for all of your wonderful ways of teaching us to have patience, honesty and loving, caring lives and family.



** To thank you for helping us to cross over the bridges of growing up, and becoming the wives, mothers, and career women we've all grown to be.



** And most of all this is to say thank you for being you and sadly saying Good bye.



We all love you so very much and you'll be so dearly missed from one of your grown up Girl Scouts with now a family of her own.

Dear Ester, Sylvia, Shawn, Patty, Angela, Marty and the rest of the family,



Our family has lost more than a friend with the loss of Dot. She cared for Anna, Katie, and Christina like a mother. Dot always had a smile on her face even in times of pain. She was always there when I needed her help. There are no words to express our loss and there are no words for yours. Dot is truely one of God's angels, and every time we think of her an angel will appear.

God Bless

The Theoktisto Family

Karen, Phil, Anna, Katie, and Christina
