I will forever remember the mentoring of Mrs. Parker. I will continue to pray for this virtuous woman and her family. Rev. Parker spread abroad the love of Jesus each time he was in the presence of others who knew the Lord, and to those who had not yet come that place he so often talked about. We look forward to seeing him again. Much love and appreciation for the works both Rev. and Evangelist Parker have done, and for the future work!!!
Love and Prayers,
Lynda G. Griffin
