William Curtis Parsons

For you, Bill, my husband and dearest Friend. You influenced out thoughts, actions and everything we are.It is hard to express the many thoughts and feelings that come with 25 years of marriage, two lovely daughters with wonderful husbands all their own and two precious grandsons. The laughter and the tears kept us growing closer each day.You sunny smile, your special way, the wonderful times we shared, and the loving things you did for us to show how much you cared. These mean so much more to us than we ever said or showed. This poem by Amanda Bradley seems to say how your family and many others feel about your influence in life after you accepted Jesus as your Savior on May 6, 1984.'You Know You're With A Friend'When you're with someone who makes you smile,Someone who helps you seehow beautiful the simple thingsin life can really be,When you're with someonewith warmth to share and kindness to extend,Someone who really knows youàthen you know you're with a friend.When you're with someonewho cares about the things you try to do,Someone you can confideyour deepest thoughts and feelings to,When you're with someone you trust in,never needing to pretend,Someone who helps you know yourself.you know you're with a friend.Amanda BradleyThe outpouring of love shown during your illness and the funeral says you were 'friend' to many people. May each and every one we know be in heaven with us someday!
