So truly sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. Such a kind, wonderful soul. All the times spent a your Mom and Dads when we were in school are treasured memories.
my prayers are with you all!
I have good memories of going to the Denner farm as a boy and playing with my cousins.

Her sincerity was genuine and she was always willing to help anyone who was hurting. However, Charley and her family always came first. After his passing she continued as best as she could, though not at her usual fast pace. Still, she loved life so much and did so many things not everyone would notice a change. It was a very sad day for all TI Parkers when she left her home in the Park and moved to a facility in Watertown where she could obtain the care and attention she deserved. She will be missed by all.
My prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
