Rose and family. Jim was not only a great client but a friend and mentor to me. He will be sorely missed here, but he is at rest with his Savior!

Jim, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Marilyn, 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To all the family and extended Berean family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

A long life here, a welcome reception into his heavenly home with his blessed Savior.  Jim was a good friend to us for many years.  Our thoughts and prayers will be for you, Rose, and the family.  May the comfort of our God be yours. 

                                                                               Tom and Dorothy Homrich

Marilyn and Bob
I am thinking of you and sending a long distance hug. Remember he and I served at your wedding together.

We remember Jim's smile and engaging personality well. He was such a steady servant of the Lord and is receiving his reward and rest now. Prayers for the family who has the assurance of a reunion with Jim one fine day!

Our deepest condolences and much love to you Jim, Lori, Jimmy, and Justin. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Jim Parks - but at the same time, excited that he is in heaven!  I can only imagine the heavenly rewards that await Brother Jim Parks because of his faithfulness!

The way Brother Jim lived his life was a HUGE inspiration to me.  He is one of the strongest, most faithful and dedicated Christians I've ever met.  I remember him talking all the time about how he would be actively involved in sharing his testimony and faith with countless people in the community in senior citizen homes & at Laurel Park Mall.

He was also a joy to be around & loved people - he was very wise with his words, always encouraging & had a very Godly attitude, even in the midst of physical difficulties.  I never saw him saying a bad word about anybody (and that is SO rare!)

He will be missed greatly by our church family.  Berean Baptist will not be the same without him!
