A TRAVELER COMING HOME
A Traveler Ventured Forth One Day ,Upon A Long And Winding Road With Faith And Trust To Lead The Way ,
With Strength And Will To Bear His Load ,And At A Slow But Steady Pace , In Cold OF Storm,In Warmth Of Sun ,He Journeyed On From Place To Place And Gained Some Value From Each One ,
Untill At Last One Quiet Night, He Climbed A Hill's Soft - Rounding Crest And Saw Afar A Single Light That Seemed To Promise Peace And Rest ,
And Following It's Glow ,He Came Upon The House In Which It Shone,
A Voice Inside Called Out His Name And Told Him He Was Truly Home.
Now All Of Us Must Travel, Too Like His ,Our Paths Wind Slowly On,
And Surely When The Course Is Through ,A Welcome Comfort Waits Beyound, May We Believe That Sweet Content Is Earned By All Those Miles Passed And Never Doubt Each Traveler's Meant To Reach A Loving Home At Last .

This is a beautiful song.
The Crabb Family is a great gospel group, I came across this song and I remembered the day Daddy gave me away,The song talks about the girl's hand trembling, I shook like a leaf, and squeezed Daddy's hand so hard,Rob came from Ft Bragg N.C. and we married at a church up the road from Daddy's out on 32, Had our cake at Daddy & Karen's home what had been my home for years ,I was starting my new life and leaving Daddy was so hard ,I never really realized untill Karen Sue and I talked how hard it was on her and Daddy both that I was gone and would not be back to live there again.
This song express's our love and our loss very well and I wanted to share this.
It is beautiful.
** Daddy I love you **
Forever By The Crabb Family
When she walked in the room with that look in her eyes.
He knew this day would come so it was no surprise.
As he held her trembling hand, they fought back the tears.
She whispered Dad a part of me will always be here.
She heard him say.
(Chorus)
Little girls don't stay forever that's what they always say.
Into their life walks their Prince charming and steals there heart away.
The bond we've made will last forever I give you my promise today.
If you should ever just need a Daddy I will be a phone call away.
Goodbye never comes easy when you must tell someone you love.
Departing brings much sorrow; the time spent together
Didn't seem like enough.
(2nd Verse)
When she walked into the room, she saw that look on his face.
She knew this time would come but hoped it would be far away.
As she took him by the hand, fighting back the tears.
Right away, you got that feeling angels were near.
She heard him say.
(Chorus)
Daddies don't stay forever that's just the way it goes.
One day in life, they make that journey, that time nobody knows.
The bond we've made will last forever the promise I gave you stays.
If you should ever just need a Daddy, I will be a memory away.
Words & music by Gerald Crabb & Jason Crabb

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.

Vanessa,
I wanted to send you this poem .
GOD SAW THAT HE WAS GETTING TIRED,
AND A CURE WAS NOT TO BE,
SO HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND HIM AND WHISPERED COME TO ME.
WITH CAREFUL EYES WE WATCHED HIM SUFFER AND SAW HIM FADE AWAY.
ALTHOUGH WE LOVED HIM DEARLY,
WE COULD NOT MAKE HIM STAY.
A GOLDEN HEART STOPPED BEATING,
HARD WORKING HANDS TO REST,
GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE TO US,
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST..
AUTHOR UNKNOWN
LOVE YOU VANESSA
AUNT WANDA

Daddy,I'm missin you so bad ,the days just run together and another one is here.
Robby played his first college game ,You'd been proud Daddy, He's got alot of you in him he's got your tender heart and those blue eyes ,and that adams apple
( my goodness) what a Parks trait!
You laughed and said "he's got him a good one sis"
I'll love you forever Daddy. I'll never forget, never , never one day without remembering how truly blessed I am that You were mine .
Love
Your Baby Girl

Vanessa, My heart aches for you and your family. I only met your Daddy once, but found him to be loving, caring and very much in love with you. I also know that he had to be very special to have a daughter so loving, giving and totally unselfish. We can be consoled with the fact that your Daddy rests in the arms of a loving Father and in a place where there is no more pain, no more suffering and no tears. Know that you have a special angel still watching out for you. Your Daddy is no more than one breath away. May our loving God heal your heart. Love, Aunt Barb

I know you Love your daddy with the utmost Love..

So we will see Him one-day again, because we are promised a tomorrow when we go as well. I Love You Dearly Vanessa and I am here for you and remember your Cathy and I's Sis, and I know Cathy feels the same way here We both Love You Bunches and Michelle.

Today is 33 days since my sweet daddy went to heaven and I am missing him so bad,His voice and his good heart, I know as long as we remember him ,he's just a thought away. But Lord I love that man and trying to learn to get on with my life as we all have to do is not easy but something daddy would want all of the people he loved to do ,Daddy did'nt want to leave us more than he did'nt want to go him self, while his time was cut short my daddy lived his life and he loved his family ,I am comforted by GODS great love and mercy for us all and know I will see my daddy again ,But to all of our family you all know daddy would want you to be happy when you think of him those last few weeks were just that, they were not his whole life and we all have our own set of memorys, for my Aunt Brownie that was Brother Bob and for all my uncles who loved him and had thier own relationships through work & through thier love for one another all the nieces and nephews Daddy loved us all and we all had a special place in his heart, as he has in ours,So think of him and his beautful blue eyes and that smile, and know he is in a better place and we can all see him again.
I love you all and pray always for our family .
Vanessa
(missin you daddy)
( your baby girl)

THE GREATEST MAN I EVER KNOWN
MY BLOOD FATHER NEVER HAD ANY THING TO DO WITH ME, WHY?
I DON’T KNOW. BUT THERE WAS THIS ONE MAN THAT STEPPED UP AND
TOOK HIS PLACE IN MY LIFE, HE WAS NOT MY DAD. HE DIDN’T HAVE
TO BE, HE WASN’T ASKED TO BE, HE WASN’T PUSHED TO BE, BUT HE
BECAME A DAD TO ME.
HE TAUGHT ME THINGS ABOUT LIFE. HE TAUGHT ME RIGHT FROM
WRONG. HE TAUGHT ME THINGS HE HAD LEARNED. HE SHOWED ME THAT
SOME TIMES YOU HAVE TO DO WRONG TO BE RIGHT, BUT THAT WAS
WHEN TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK, WOULD NOT WORK. HE WAS THERE
FOR ME WHEN I NEEDED HIM AND WHEN I DIDN’T. HE TOLD ME ABOUT
GIRLS TOO.THERE IS JUST SOME THINGS A BOY NEEDS TO LEARN FROM A DAD.
THIS MAN WAS THERE TO DO THAT FOR ME.
THE LAST TIME I SAW OR TALKED TO MY DAD WAS AT NANA’S HOUSE.
WHEN ROBBY GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL. MY DAD WAS HAPPY, SMILING,
PUSHING ME AROUND, JOKING AROUND AND TELLING LIES ON ME TO
MY GIRLFRIEND. THAT’S JUST THINGS A DAD DOES.THAT’S HOW I WANT TO REMEMBER MY DAD.
I CHANGED MY NAME WHEN I WAS 18 TO MY DADS LAST NAME. WHY?
BECAUSE, HE IS MY TRUE DAD.
ANY MAN CAN BE A FATHER, BUT IT TAKES A HELL OF A MAN TO BE
A DAD.
BOB PARKS IS MY DAD AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE, MY DAD.
I THANK YOU BOB, FOR BEING
MY DAD.
I LOVE YOU DAD
RICHARD CODY PARKS

Karen I am sorry for your loss. Bob felt more like a brother to me than a brother-in-law. I leant so much from him through out the years. He taught me my trade of carpentry years ago along with few leasons in life. I will always have fond memories when I think of Bob. I have loved Bob since 1960 and will continue to love him with each passing day. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids. Smokey and Debby Ratliff
