I was glad to get to know and visit Norma Jean, my second cousin, and to take my parents to Watertown to meet her on two occasions in the 1990's. She and George, then she and Stennett, enabled us to visit the graves of many Parkhurst ancestors. Her mother had compiled an extensive family genealogy which we all appreciate. She was so proud of being a grandma to those beautiful children. Love and condolences, Amy and Bob in Sarasota, Florida

Stennett I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. My Mom (Carol Pete) wanted me to be sure to extend her sympathies also. Your Mom sure gave us a lot of laughs over the years. I can still hear her joking around when she would come to visit Grandma Seymour. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Stennett and family, I was so sorry to hear that your sweet mother died. She was a special person and one who I will remember fondly. She was sure a dog lover as she spoiled my Buffy. Prayers are being sent your way during this difficult time. Hugs from Georgia. Ann, Greg and Emily Chapman
