Hey Bit, It's almost been a year (Sunday, November 16th)... Feels so long ago... Missing you and all your amazing qualities that still touch me everyday and will the rest of my life.... I see myself still using your gestures of humor and sarcasm.... When your name is brought up, my kids look at me proudly... Speaking softly, clearly, passionately and most of all lovingly on the memories they all have of their Uncle... While, I appreciated feeling your sensitivity, kindness strength and judgement... Which I try to strive for but, will never measure up to yours... I'll settle for a close second ... I miss you my brother.... To your credit, your family is strong... With your guidance that you were able to deliver as their father and Dee as their mother.... John, Barb and Richie, I see have consumed all those qualities that you and Dee taught them.... While mastering them in their own way..... I envy you as I never realized how hard it is... How humble, respectful and strong your (Parks) family has become, thanks to you and Dee being an incredible team.... I miss you and love you very much...jame
