To the Parker/Johnson family, please accept my condolences for the loss of your mother, Mrs. Parker. I will miss talking to her at the fence when I come home. Mrs. Parker has always been nice to me; we have had great conversations over the years. Whenever I came home, she would come out of the house and meet me at this fence. Mrs. Parker, take your rest, and you will be missed.
Aunt Jennie was the rock. I will forever shed a tear for her. I will always await her call for my birthday and miss our monthly calls. Rest now auntie. Miss you!

Such a “great” loss.
My childhood was filled with such joy and fun, as it was customary for parents to make themselves responsible for the neighborhood kids.

Thanks for the Love, Elijah and Jennie Parker!
My deepest condolences to the Parker family. May God give you peace and comfort during this time and thereafter.
To The Parker Family,
There are no words to make your pain feel better. Mothers are the backbone that holds us all together. Once we loose that part of that family chain there is nothing to ever replace it until we all meet again to attach it back together, and we all will. Someday. Our deepest condolences to you all.

Sending Condolences to the family of Mother Jennie Parker. Jennie was a true and devoted friend to my mother for many years. I will remember the times she took my mother on vacation with her and all the walks they took almost everyday. I’m sure mom will be at the pearly gates to welcome you and the two of you can continue your walks all around heaven.
My deepest sympathy to the Parker Family, on the loss of your love one. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
My Deepest condolences ❤️❤️❤️ to the family. I will be praying that God continue to comfort you all in this time of loss.
Jennie was my Aunt. My mother was her baby sister. She use to have me in that kitchen every holiday cooking with her, while everyone else got to sleep. I was so mad at those days, but grateful for each one. Just call me Beatty Crocker as some of my family members say, lol
With a heavy heart, I give my condolences to the Parker family!!!…Peace be with you always!
To the entire Parker family I send my heart felt condolences for Mrs Jennie Parker. She was an amazing mother, grandmother and great grandmother ❤️. She meant a lot to everyone and she always will. She was like the mother I never had the chance of having. My heart and soul is with you all now at your time of grieving. I wish I could have been there. I know she is with the Lord now and I can hear her calling out for her beloved Elijah. RIP Mrs Parker ❤️❤️❤️
My Condolences to the family.
Our deepest condolences and love go out to the Parker Family. May she rest in Peace in Paradise.
