Janet, My name is Patti. My mother is Wyvonna Walker. She is the daughter of the late Willie Frances Parker. Willie and Ray Allen's mother (Dicy Parker) were sisters. My mother and Ray Allen were 1st cousins. Thom Reynolds called my mother Friday to tell her of our family's loss. We are thinking of you and your family with sympathy at this time of sorrow. My mother moved to Oklahoma City after she married my dad and the only time we saw Ray Allen after that was at the yearly Parker family reunion. My dad passed away earlier this year and my mother loves this poem, I hope you will too. YOUR SMILE Though your smile Is gone forever, And your hand I Cannot touch, I still have Many memories of the One I loved so much. Your memory is my Keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in His Keeping, I have you In my heart. Your Oklahoma Cousins.
