Pansy is brightening Heaven today as she did our lives each day. She was always such a willing helper, eager to go the extra mile as a volunteer when we worked together at St. E for many years. Laughter followed her always. Dale Jolly and I were often the happy recipients of any "leftovers" from the food truck and of course Pansy won the cooking contests at St. E. Lindsey and Trey--she was so very proud of you, sharing hilarious stories. Lindsey, she set such a wonderful example for you and brought you to us at St. E as a volunteer. I love the photo of the two of you in your uniforms. I know she must have enjoyed your little one and will be watching over her as she grows up. Linda, we are all blessed from knowing your Mom--she was truly as beautiful inside as she was on the outside. Please be comforted by memories of happy times and the prayers of your friends. Mary Beth and Gerald Cloninger, League City, Texas

My name is Wally Parker, and I am the youngest son of Joe and Barbara Parker from Warren Texas. I remember that Aunt Pansy was a very Sweet Southern Lady, and she was always so nice and hospitable to our family when we were able to come and visit. I spoke with my Mother today and was told that Aunt Pansy stayed with her while she was in labor with me, because my Father had to go home and take care of the other children at home. This is how Aunt Pansy was, always helpful and sweet. My thoughts and prayers are with you all today and going forward. Lance Parker
