To the family of Ms. Parker, she will be sadly miss. Ms. Parker and I was neighbors for 10years, I will always remeber her as a second Mom away from my mom, a friend, my teacher as a gardner and being as beautiful as her flowers she so loved. Even after moving back to SC she continue to show me genuine love. My prayers will be with you all today and always.

To the family of Sophia Galena Horn Parker-
I was saddened to hear of the death of Galena.My thoughts and prayers are with you.I wish I could attend the service, but because of a prior commitment, I will not be able to. I talked with Galena several weeks ago and we had a nice conversation. She sounded fine then. I talked with her about the Williams' Family Reunion. I even sent her a letter regarding it. If any of the other family members can attend, please let me know and I will send you the information. It is going to be in Greensboro. I suppose you heard about Milton's death in December and Nathaniel's death last year.
Please let me hear from you -

My prayers are with Mrs. Parker's family during this time of lost. My family has been neighbors of Mrs. Parker for over 20 years. I remember every Spring, Summer, and Fall when Mrs. Parker was always out in her flower garden and yard. Oh, how she loved flowers! Her yard was always beautiful and neat. She was always a nice and friendly neighbor. She will be greatly missed.
