We would like to give our condolences to Mrs. Parker and the rest of his family. We were sorry we couldn't make it to the visitation and funeral, but you all will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Brother Parker was a marvelous, loving, and caring man - a man of God. I've been blessed to have "grown-up" in his presence. I used to go to South Hopewell Church of God with my great-grandmother Sis. Warren (who is 98 years old and physically can't attend anymore). If there is anything the family needs, please don't hesitate to give me a shout (e-mail provided). I will be at the funeral service. Take Care and may God continue to bless the family in this difficult time.
