Dianne here. I’m planning a service in Lake Worth. Florida at the National Cemetery on February 15th. . .if the cemetery’s schedule allows. If it works out for that date, check back for a time and feel free, but not obliged to attend. I’m planning on bagpipers to play Amazing Grace and if I can work it out. I’d love all attendees to sing along. Anyone familiar with our families’ singing history will remember that Parker knew all the words to all the verses of Amazing Grace. I will miss him. . . for sure.
