There are not enough words to express what a great man of God Randall Parsons was. His influence and legacy will live on for many years, not only through his wonderful family, but through those he touched over the course of his long ministry. Randall and Agnes Parsons have been life-long friends of our family, and I must say they were the dearest and closest friends my parents have ever had. My life has been indelibly marked by the touch of Randall Parsons, and if there was ever a person I wanted to emulate, it was him. I have the fondest memories of our families spending time together singing around the piano, or with a guitar, and sharing wonderful meals at each others tables. My goodness, it seemed there was no instrument that Randall could not play, and no joke that could be told better. There will never be another that can tell a tale like this wonderful, funny man. But, when the occasion called for serious ministry, Randall was always ready to minister healing, help, and salvation. I believe that he and Agnes are now re-united, and it seems I can almost hear them singing again in sweet harmony. Oh, how we will miss that great man, but I'm sure there is a great reunion going on right now, and I'm sure he'll see a multitude of faces of those he led to Christ over the years. What a time he must be having now! We offer our love and condolences to the Parsons family, 'til we meet again.
Rev. and Mrs. Parsons were two of the most wonderful people to ever live in Tavares. We have been truly blessed to have both of them serving the Lord for so long. The best joke I ever heard from the pulpit came from Rev. Parsons- he could preach a terrific sermon. What a glorious Christian life they both lived.
