TO Jim and family:
I am friend of Sister, Janice Parks. This is such a sad time for her. Sisters are so close. You are never ready to give them up. I lost my husband to pneumonia a year ago. We had been married for 60 yrs. The good memories are always with us. Choose to be happy. She would want that. My prayers are with you all. Sylvia

Mrs. Perret-Gentil, my mother passed away last September. I can really understand your pain; it takes your breath away. It helped to relieve my pain believing she is still here, in my heart. Talk to her. She will bring you as much peace as mine did to me. Your family is in our prayers.

Its been years since our paths crossed my friend, but I will always remember the fun,crazy and playful times we had together staying home raising our kids and playing tennis and sitting by the pool and seeing who could get the darkest tan. I hope you and Kenny are talking about all the times we all had together back then, some were challinging , but mostly fun and great times we all shared.Rest in peace my friend.
