She Will Always Be Beautiful...



We owe a debt to the people who made the last several days endurable.

Last Friday, Rachel Christine Parsley died. She went to sleep and never woke up. Rachel honored me by identifying herself as my daughter on social media and in person. The truth is, she was my wife’s youngest child and my step-daughter.

From the moment we heard the terrible news, our friends and acquaintances delivered things to our doorstep and hugs for our beleaguered souls. Rachel was only 30 and while we mourn her death, our focus now totally is on her daughter, our grandchild, Lexa. She’s 10 years old.  

Her mother was a beautiful woman. Her life inexplicably was cut short. So she will always remain beautiful in our memory……Forever.

An unknown author once wrote: 

Do not judge a biography by it's length, Nor by the number of pages in it. 
Judge it by the richness of it's contents. 

Sometimes those unfinished are among the most poignant.

Do not judge a song by it's duration Nor by the number of it's notes... 

Judge it by the way it touches and lifts the soul.

Sometimes those unfinished are among the most beautiful. 


Carol and I are grateful for the sympathy paid to our family during this tragedy. 

Thank you.
