Condolences
The family of Elizabeth R. Parker has received the following condolences.
Dear Mike, Mary Ellen, Tim and Gail......I was so sorry to read of your mother's passing. My own mother passed away @ 97 yrs. old too. I had forgotten that they both shared the same birthday, except the same year, as my mother was born in 1917. I remember that Jerry and I had a combined birthday party for them back when we were together. I could not attend the funeral as I had an 11:00 appt. I shall visit the grave site sometime though. Please know that I am thinking of you all and have many fond memories. Take care and God Bless You. Barb Logan
