Tomorrow ...
I have come to the end ofmyjourney; the road to heaven awaits me. I'm going home to my Savior, the one whom I've longed to see. We never question our God, never once do we ask why, for there's a purpose to be born, and there's a time for one to die. Remember me as you knew me, Happy, Loving, and so Carefree; remember to keep me close to your heart, for there is where I'll be.
Tomorrow is a new day...
No sadness... No more tears, for my life was filled with so much happiness throughout all my 81 years.
By Sandra Westbrook

---------
Patty Jean Parker was born in Warren, Ohio, on April 28, 1931, to the late Sarah Buford- Whiting and Wallace Bynum. She was married to the late Willie Belton Parker for 25 years. In her early years she received an Associate degree from Norfolk State University where her dream was to become an opera singer. She found a better and more fulfilling career as a homemaker and substitute teacher. By doing this, she could spend her time nurturing and taking care of her family which was the most important aspect of her life.
She was a member of The Greater Piney Grove Baptist Church where she served on the Mother's board. Her interests included painting, reading, crocheting, music, and family.
She is survived by one son, Vincent Pitt, three daughters and their spouses, Sandra and Marvin Westbrook, Natalie Parker, and Sonja and Carlton Hurdle. Seven grandchildren: Akia Maxi (husband Jude), Rashad Fergerson (wife Charlithia), Victoria Pitt, Raven Westbrook, Michael Pitt, Marvin Westbrook II, and Taylor Westbrook. Four great grandchildren: Jordan White, Jasmine Maxi, Hannah Maxi, and Tyler Maxi; and a host of loving family and friends.
