To: Reggie & Barry & the Parker family,Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mother, she touched many lives we share in your sorrow. Sending love and prayers your way. Estellia Underwood and Sharon Underwood-Pope.

Everyone always asked me why I called you Fran and not aunt Fran. Well that's because you was more like a sister to me.You was someone I could always come to and share my feelings with and know that the advice was always in my best interest. I will deeply miss our times together to talk, laugh, or just enjoy each others company. Forever in my heart, your everloving (sister) niece Niecy

To my Beloved Aunt Frances: We spent a lot of time together. We had many deep conversations and reflections. I would often share my deepest thoughts and experiences with you and knew I was safe and would not hear it from anyone else. You were one of my Role Models growing up and one of the persons I would go to when I needed to talk and get advice. You were an influential part of my success and character as a woman. Thanks for your love, guidance and support. You will always live in my heart. What was once many happy experiences are now great fond memories. Thanks for being the brilliant woman you were! Forever Grateful, Your Loving Niece, Yolanda 😍

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
