Mrs. Foote,
I got to know Parrish when I was working at the Gas Processing Plant off of Highway 964. He would come over and the conversation would always eventually get to talking about his cattle. It was always a pleaseure to see him when he came around. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of sadness.
