You are in our thoughts and prayers, may God send you the peace that passeth all understanding and keep safe within his arms of love.
I did not know Mr. Parham that well, but what I did know of him made a definite impression on me. His weekly articles on the nuances of the automobile and truck repair services offered by Hendersonville Tire and Oil led me to patronize his business. Through his associate Norman Chubb, I came to trust my vehicles to Hendersonville Tire and Oil. I know that he will be sadly missed by his wife, daughters, sons-in law and grandchildren and his legacy as an honest businessman and staunch disciple of Jesus Christ will be his legacy. May the peace of Christ which passes all understanding guard your hearts and minds until you meet him again in a place that know no suffering, sorrow or tears.
I am sorry we did not know earlier. We send our love, thoughts and prayers to all of you. Your whole family has given us such wonderful memories and Jimmy will never be forgotten. Wishing you peace, Dave and Bev Johnson
Praying for your entire family during this time. May God bless each of you.
Praying for everyone and thanking our Lord for the peace He is giving each of you through this time.
