Thank you for the smell of dirty diapers and dampened sheets,
Trust they did not smell like roses; so pure and sweet
Thank you for the fits and fights and temper tantrums,
Memories would not be complete without them
Thank you for fighting so much bad guy crime,
God will be in need of your powers from time to time
Thank you for the laughter and the tears,
They have made us stronger through the years
You’ve taught us selflessness, compassion, and irrevocable love little man,
Through the wink of your eye, and your “rock on” hands
Days will be sad from the absence of that certain joy only your presence can supplement,
But believe me child your memory, love, and spirit are permanent
Sue Helgeson @ 3:52 am
Ashley & Shane and Family,
Our prayers for you would be that your sorrow be lightened by the knowledge that Parker is in God’s loving arms. We will continue to pray for the healing of your hearts. I love all the precious pictures of Parker and know that memories serve as a way of keeping our loved ones with us always. Our thoughts, love and prayers are with you at this difficult time. In Sympathy, Sue & Forrest Helgeson (Cody’s parents)
Teacher Gina @ 5:46 am
Parker was such a passionate child. This poem is very fitting. I will miss him! I have a CD with many more pictures of Parker at school. Parker will be missed at our school! The families are so sorry about his loss.
Mike Prigodich @ 7:07 pm
Adric spontaneously improvised a song without words on a toy harp after hearing what happened to his friend Parker. Adric also said, “I want to tell Parker about reptiles, but I can’t because he isn’t alive anymore.” Adric will miss his friend Parker and his cool bass shirt.
Angie LaBreck @ 7:31 pm
I didn’t get the chance to know Parker personally, but Bryony brought him to life for us each and every day. I know what a very special boy he was and my heart hurts for all those who loved him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Elle Wade @ 11:20 pm
I loved Parker so much and I know all of us did. But we need to remember all the good times we had with him. I know he is making God laugh and is probably jumping arround. I think of him every minute of the day and will allways remember him.
Mom Eva and Don @ 4:13 pm
Words cannot express what I feel. I never got to meet Parker but I do know you, Ash. I know how much this little one is loved and the joy he brought to you and your family. He will continue to bring you joy as he helps to watch over you. He has work to do. Parker’s short time on this earth has served its purpose and now his real work begins. It is awesome to know that he already has a special place in heaven. He is with some great people. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and mourn and celebrate Parker’s life. We love you!
Deb Tague (Codys Aunt) @ 5:28 pm
Dear family of Parker, today I am holding your family up in prayer. May Gods peace that passes All understanding fill each heart, may He wrap you in His mighty arms of Love as He holds your little Parker.
My continued prayers….
Sandy/Jerry @ 4:50 am
Our g’daughter loved Parker as her own and through her we came to know this little guy and all the love he gave Bryony (and his family). Somewhere ‘up there’ is a bright star and down here some loving memories to comfort all. All of you are in our prayers and thoughts every day. God bless
clela & Jerald franquero @ 4:38 am
Ashley & shane families,
we were very sorry to hear of your of your loss, we briefly met you at the big wedding in new york, but at this time we want to express our thoughts and prayers, he is very handsome and courageous from what I see.

Parker-our wile e coyote & road runner.
he was always running & doing his own stunts at our home with his cousins. He is so loved & our hearts will forever be filled with his happy little spontaneous ever so loving spirit. Shane & Ash we love you!!!!!! Parker loved by so many he will be remembered.
Grant Lasselle @ 12:06 am
The thing that made Parker so special to me is how happy he was and how much that rubbed off on those around him. You wanted to be around this boy because he made you feel young and made you happy. A lot of kids just want to play and do their own thing, but Parker wanted you to do things with him, like he knew how awesome he was and wanted to give others the chance to experience him. I know that most kids try to be cool and want to have older kids want to let them play, but with Parker the older kids, and I’m including myself, just wanted to be cool enough that he would want to play with us. I am not yet a father, but when that time comes I would consider myself forever lucky to have a child with half of the charisma, intelligence, sense of humor, and overall joy for life that Parker had. I will miss him forever and am honored to have been know to him as Uncle Grant.
Sheila Nelson-Ortiz @ 12:27 pm
Love has no boundaries. Memories will never fade. All you need is to close your eyes and you can see him again and again. If one wish can be given it would be for you to be together again. Our prayers are with you!
Love always & forever, Aunt Sheila and her son’s Giordano, Gianni and Giomar Ortiz

Aunt Cheryl @ 6:21 pm
Parker Bean,
Avery asked me last night if we could throw an anchor up to heaven and pull you down for just a little while. How I wish that were possible!!! I am so thankful for your precious life and for how you lived it with unbridled enthusiasm in everything you did. When I think of you I remember your big bear hugs, your sweet voice and the smile in your eyes. You definitley had a huge personality in that little body! When I see these pictures of you I am thankful that you experienced so much love from so many people during your life. We miss you!!
mom and dad @ 4:50 am
hey bub, we miss you so much! Uncle Aaron say’s “keep rockin’” When I came up to visit you last, it was really tough getting tougher but i hope you know that even tho i don’t come very day you are always with me and I thinking about you with every step i take. You are truly apart of me and I’m so thankful for you to give mommy the strength to continue in this world. I sleep with your monkey and your spiderman blanket every night, it’s funny when the buttom goes off when i roll over. I can hear your laugh every time. I was thinking the other day how we had a date to go to the beach, i’m having a hard time bring myself to go but i know you will be with me when i do and i will i promise. You know you are the best son anyone could ask for i am the luckest mom in the world, not only was i blessed with you in my life but you are my best friend, we did everything together. I guess that’s one of reason mom has such a hard time. we shared so much together and did so much that i see you everywhere i go. I want you to know that even tho you see mommy sad, i am still so happy that you were our son. Parker i miss you more than you will ever know. remember you are always on our minds and forever in our hearts. we love you always!!!! love mom and dad
mom @ 4:36 pm
Hey bub, just wanted to let you know your auntie J looked amazing yesterday at her wedding. Uncle Derek is a really good guy. It was a beautiful wedding. I know you were there, you wouldn’t miss it. I love and miss you so much. love mommy
Dad @ 5:41 am
Hey, bud. I miss you. Your mother does,too. WE all do. Home hasn’t been the same without you running around and being rowdy. I miss that. You aren’t hear to torcher and tease sis either. She misses that I’m sure. We are doing ok, though. I put your picture in my truck so now you can ride in it with me everyday. We think about you every day and hurt and heal in our own ways, too. You brought so much joy to everyone and we all thank you for that. I love you. I miss you.
Karen Prigodich @ 4:16 am
Parker, I was thinking about you today and stopped by your website to say hi. Adric still misses you and talks about you sometimes. You will never be forgotten. Ashley, please let us know if there’s anything we can do.
mommy @ 6:51 pm
Hey bub, I miss you so much! i need you. i miss our “I love you” wars. I miss hugging you and giving you kisses. I miss talking to you and listening to your jokes that you learn from who knows where. i miss your laugh, tho i can still hear it. i miss you coming out in the morning dressed but with your cloths on backwards, telling me it’s your style. You bring so much joy to my life. Your birthday is coming up, the big number 5! I miss you more than i could ever express i hope you know that. I love you bub so much!!
Aunt Tat @ 4:28 am
Hey buddy! I just got done talking with your mommy, you have the best mommy in the world. Just wanted you to know that I think about you and miss talking to you when I call. I love you!
dad @ 2:27 am
Hey, bud. Today is your brother’s birthday! Maybe you could play a joke on him. Sister started her knew school today, too. I wish I knew everything… maybe the hurt and sorrow would go away. Maybe we could just feel everything and know how things are or what each other are seeing or feeling without question. We miss you and love you, buddy. Say hi to grandpa for me. Tell him the same. Make him laugh….
mommy @ 4:36 pm
Hey Zubs, I was just thinking about you. I miss you so much, we all do. it’s crazy how much life has changed and no matter what i do nothing brings back. i can’t wait to see you again. i love you!!
Uncle Dieter @ 8:09 am
Hey there Parker Bean,
I just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday!! I miss you a lot and think about you all the time. I would have loved to have seen you grow up and experience everything that life had to offer. You were such a joy and blessing to so many people. I am so grateful to have been a part of your life, and feel so blessed that you were a part of mine. I will always carry the memories of you with me.
Derek and Avery also miss you very much. You were not just their cousin, but their best buddy. I think they just miss hanging out with their friend. They talk about wanting to visit you in Heaven. But I tell them that will happen in God’s timing. So for now, they keep you in their hearts.
So today, on your birthday, we will blow out 5 candles for you. Celebrating and remembering you, looking forward to the time when we will see you again. We love you!!!
mommy @ 1:17 am
HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY!!!! Oh bub, we miss you!!! I know your a grown man now but you will always be our little boy.

Get ready to catch some balloons at 7 tonight we are sending them up to you along with many others who love and miss you. Were throwing a superhero party on saturday for you, it’s gonna be awesome!!! we love and miss you every second. Love mom and dad
Aunt Cheryl @ 1:17 am
Hey little man! On your birthday your cousins and Uncle Dieter and I sang Happy Birthday to you and blew out the candles for you. Still can’t believe you’re not here. We always loved to celebrate your b’day day with the boys. You always managed to get your tongue really blue with frosting no matter what! We love you and think about you all the time. We miss you!!!
mommy and daddy @ 4:24 am
Hey zubs- We love and miss you so much!!! I just finished my 5th day of my new job. It’s weird having a grown up job. I miss being mom and spending everyday with you. Its crazy how life changes so fast. I know your looking out for us and I find comfort in that. I hope you smile everyday and are meeting and teaching so many people. We are proud of you. Just remember your are always on our minds and forever in our heart. love mom and dad
Cousin Giordano Ortiz @ 1:10 am
Parker you are my HERO! Your Grandmother Amber told me that you wanted to be a super hero and save others. I felt you could do this with a Blood Drive in our area of Fayetteville, Georgia. We set a goal to get 40 pints of blood and we reached this goal. Each pint will save 3 people and so your saved 120 people on July 25th, 2009! These donations were given in honor of you to others with life threatening operations. My scout troop here helped me with this project. This was my Eagle Scout Project and you are a REAL HERO!
Love your cousin, Giordano Ortiz age 15.

Can’t believe you would have been 7 years old today. I still think about you a lot. And even though it makes me sad sometimes, I promise that I will never forget you. I carry you in my heart like a little good luck charm, reminding me of how precious life is, so I don’t take anything or anyone for granted. Thank you for that gift.
But today, for your birthday, we are all sending you lots of kisses and hugs. We miss you and love you so very much.
Happy birthday little man!!
