I’m so sorry to see that Mrs Parrish is no longer with us and that I found out about her passing and services too late. I would have loved to have been able to pay my respects and attend her services. She always told us all about, her husband, Mr. A.P. I’m sure Mr. A.P. was waiting with open arms. I have loved Mrs. Parrish, since I met her at the Jr High School, here in Palestine Tx. I always went shopping with her for the class dinner and supplies and helped her decorate the class. I loved how she shared her recipes with me. I would take the recipes home and cook for my family. Throughout the years, I have always told everyone about Mrs. Parrish. Just Monday, I told my husband about her.... I had no idea that she had passed way, until this evening.
I have run into Mrs Parrish, many times throughout the past years. She’d ask me, what was going on in my life and never fail to let me know how proud she was of me. It was always a joy to be in her presence. You’ll forever be etched in my memories. I love You and I’m going to miss you Mrs. Parrish. I’ll never forget you.❤️

This wonderful lady was my 4H leader, high school teacher and long- time friend. She was so loved, and will be missed.

Plant a tree: How does it work

When your purchase is complete, a post will be made on the tribute wall of the deceased signifying the planting of a memorial tree.

An official certificate recognizing your purchase will be included with your email receipt. You can then forward the email to the family or print it and give it to them personally.

After an order is placed, our forestry partners will plant the tree in the area of greatest need (nearest the funeral home), according to the planting schedule for the year.

Due to seasonal conditions, the tree planting takes place during the spring and summer.

Tree Planting Timeline
