Condolence from Lorie & Bob Van Valkengoed on June 6th, 2017 8:21 PM

To all the Parsons Gang.

I have many a memory sharing meals at the table with Jack and all of you. I was lucky enough to be connected with your family allowing me to see all of Jacks children get married, as well as watching the grand children being born. I saw first hand the time and love Jack poured into all of you.

He always had a smile, (a little higher on one side than the other). It was cute watching him walking around dwarfed by Ryan , and I loved to tease him about it. His eyes would light up each time he looked at Ryan, as they did with the all of you over the years.

For a man who suffered as Jack did, I’ll offer a prayer of thanks that you were blessed with him for all these wonderful years.

He was a treasure.

Condolence from Cathy Parsons on June 6th, 2017 8:23 PM
