    Family of Juliet Noblett---Linda Rogers,Sheila McCall, Eddie Noblett, Connie Wheeler says:
    We would like to share our condolences with the family of Bob Parker. Even through you do not know us personally, we knew your father from the Trailer Park, were he lived, our mother, lived there also before she died. But Bob and Juliet were good friends, we will always remember how he would pick our mother up every Sunday to go to church at Moore's Grove United Methodist Church, that meant alot to our mother. I can remember she would always come home telling a story about what Bob said or did, she enjoyed his friendship so much. May God bless and comfort you all in your great loss.
