Lit a candle in memory of Ocie Joyner Parker
I have so many fond memories of Ocie. We lived down the road from her and Bud when I was ln the 2nd and 3rd grade and played many hours with Toni. Now she and my Mom, Marie Boykin can catch up with each other in heaven. She was such a sweet lady, had an infectious laugh and we always felt at home in her home.

Steve and Gayle In your time of sorrow, Know that God is there, He will hold you in His arms And wipe away your tears He understands your pain; He feels the grief you feel Just give to Him your broken heart, For He, in time, will heal. My prayes are with you,… Ella Evans
My sincere condolences to the Parker family, for your loss. Certainly Ocie will be missed! During this time of sorrow, mediating on the promises that Jehovah has in his word the Bible, about the end of death, and being able to see our dead loved ones provide comfort-2 Cor. 14, 5! Jehovah promises at 1 Cor. 1526, that our great enemy death will be brought to nothing! How wonderful it will be not to hear about death anymore! Yes this former thing will have passed away-Rev 213-5! Jesus helps us to appreciate that we can be reunited with our dead loved ones. Jesus demonstrated this with his close friend Lazarus who had been dead for four days. With the help of his Father Jehovah, Jesus was able to resurrect him, and how excited he was along with Lazurus family and friends-John 1111-44! Jesus had confidence in the resurrection hope, and certainly we should as well-John 528, 29! Please feel to visit our website http://www.jw.org.After accessing the page, go the Publications tab, then books and brochures, and search for the book, What Does Bible Really Teach, and please read Chapter 7 Real Hope For Your Dead Ones Who Have Died. I’m sure you will find the Bible Based information to be comforting! Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions at [emailprotected] May your family be comforted!
Patsy, Steve and family, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. May God Bless you and give you strength now and the days to come. You are certainly in my prayers.
In life we are asked to endure many trials & adversities. You have been required to endure enough for A lifetime. May his love comfort you & help you to find great joy in the rest of your journey. Jesus said I am the true vine, & my Father is the cultivator. (John 15 1) What a joyful reunion we shall have. John 3 16, John 5 28, 29, Rev. 21 3, 4. I hope these will help you in your time of grief, as they did for me.
