HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEMORIAL
JAMIE PARCHMON
If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good- bye, you were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.
We miss and love you al- ways. In memory of our lov- ing son and brother.
