Condolences
Parke Phillips
Emory, Rose & Shirley,
I wanted you to know that caring for Parke was an honor. Parke was a gentle man, sweet, kindhearted and very polite. He loved you and talked about you all the time. He was proud of his family. I spent many enjoyable hours with Parke and it deeply breaks my heart that he is gone. But I know he is with God and his body is completely healed and he must be eating Italian subs, his favorite. Thank you for sharing your brother! He blessed my life.
Parke
We appreciate your kind words and are grateful for the care you gave him
