That's a subtle way of tihknnig about it.
I grieve for Mary because I always wanted to see more of her. She is a wonderful relative and friend. My third grade teacher and cousin was such a joy to be with and I treasure her.I'm thankful for all the information she gave to me and for her precious attitude of love.Sincerely,Kay
In loving memory of all the good times togather and deep regrets on the family's great loss.
To the Parish family…..I have such great memories of Mary! From a sudden singing spurt to that little giggle of hers, she was always fun to be around. I'm very sorry about your loss. Keep those memories close…..she'll always be in your heart!
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I will always remember the mini pies and the piano lessons. Thank you for such happy memories.
We mourn loss and celebrate life. Your family is in my prayers.
So sorry to hear of your loss, Darrel, Joanna, Ann & Jeff, Lewis & Chansonetta, Martha, Barry, the rest of the Parish Clan. How fortunate you were to have such a wonderful woman with you for so long. Our condolences. You are in our hearts and our prayers.
Your mother provided a wonderful link to happy childhood memories of Ora and Fred's country home, gardens, and railroad tracks. Mary, her sisters, and their children were the first "city" people with whom I interacted. I thought all wonderfully sophisticated, talented, and welcoming.I'm so very pleased that I had the opportunity to attend Mary's last Halloween celebration!I'll savor my memories, as I know you will.Sincerely,Sheryl Rincker
I remember Mrs. Parish going on a field trip when Barry was in my 3rd grade class. We were returning on the bus, singing "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain" at the top of our lungs. Mrs. Parish tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for not singing '99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall". She was a wonderful lady. My sympathies to your family.
The Harristown Fire Protection District extends our deepest sympathy to your family. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as you reflect on the amazing life Mary Sylvia enjoyed. She certainly touched many lives in our community.With our Deepest Sympathy,Harristown FPDChief Steven GambrillChaplain Ann Rohde
