Always Loved, Parker
Parker, my sunshine, so joyful and sweet,
With hugs full of love, you make life complete.
You swim like the dolphins, you laugh and you play,
On bright forest trails, we wander all day.

In Florida’s sunshine, as happy as can be.
And always remember, wherever you go,
Jesus and Memaw love you — more than you know.

Even when I'm gone Parker can always remember me,"
