To the Family of Sister Angela Y. Parks, you have my deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers for your strength, comfort and peace in the LORD during your mourning and adjustment to life without her. As members of From the Heart Church Ministries of Atlanta, Sis. Parks and I co-labored as Ushers, on church events and in the Food Pantry where she taught me merchandising techniques that she learned from working in her grandmother's store. Words cannot adequately describe Sis. Parks... her beautiful personality, giving heart and untiring service to all she met. Well yes, one word can describe her... LOVE. It overflowed to all. I pray you will allow Christ Jesus to be all HE IS to you... to comfort you as only HE can, to give you beautiful memories of Sis. Parks for when your heart hurts, HIS peace and joy to fill that empty place in your hearts when you are missing her sooo much; and give you words of praise/thankfulness to GOD for being so blessed to have experienced her unconditional love, selflessness and godly teaching, which can lift your heart when it is truly heavy and down. I will forever cherish Sis. Parks and will miss her greatly until she and I see each other again in Glory with Christ. Sincerely, Minister Wanda A. Howard
A beautiful person who will surely be missed. May the Lord encourage and strengthen the family through this time. The Rowland Family

Her laughter, helping hand and giving spirit will be missed but we will treasure all memories of our beautiful sister-in-Christ. The Grigley Family
I loved Angie. She was my first new friend when i moved here last year. I will deeply miss her dedication to Food Not Bombs Atlanta's grocery giveaways and our political conversations and debates. I am grateful for the support she showed me during my months of Covid isolation and the advice she gave me during the George Floyd protests. She was the best of women and will live in my memories for the rest of my life! My condolences to the family especially Nate and Christopher whom I almost feel I know because of Angie's stories... I am so sorry that Covid-19 isolation has made it so that I cannot fully share in this celebration of Angela's life.
To the Parks Family, there are no words to say of the passing of my beloved God-sister Angela. Your Mom was Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Godmother, Sister, Aunt, Great-Aunt, Niece, Cousin, that was Angel sent by God to served others and she did. Angela loved her family and her church family, From the Heart Church Ministries of Camp Springs Maryland, with all her heart and soul. Psalm 30:5 for his anger endureth but a moment; In his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. 2 Timothy 4: I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Your Mom was truly a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. Your Mom was my sister and friend, we would fellowship together for Sunday Services and Tuesday Night Bible Study. We were traveling partners throughout the years and we travel to Las Vegas, Long Beach California, Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship, North Carolina, Lexington Park in St. Mary County, Maryland and other places that I will always cherished the times we shared. Your Mom and my Mom would have conversation about the family and church family that kept your Mom in laughter and full of joy. Thank you Jermaine and Nate for sharing your loving Mom with me. In loving memories: God-brother Robert, Mom & Family.
She was my cousin true, but more like BFFs. We're did everything together. Her biggest desire was to reunite with jet family in Georgia. You did that and more. All my memories of you are too big to fill this small space, so I'll simply keep them in the infinity if my heart. You will truly be missed Angie!!!

Sister Parks will be missed. I will miss her smile and warm and friendly personality. I will also miss working with her at the FTHCM of Atlanta food pantry. My sincere sympathy to the family. Sister Lanette Simmons
Angela was such a light when you were in her presence. She genuinely cared her family and dear friends and poured herself into caring for others. I'd often talk with her as she was at the church for the food pantry or as she was doing something for someone else. Truly, she was a loving soul and will be missed by many. To the family, know that God will bring you through this most dark time and one day, smiles will replace the heavy hearts as you fondly remember something she said or did.
To the Parks Family I will truly miss my sister in Cheist, friend prayer partner, coworker Angela Parks. She brought so much joy to the office and her heart was bigger than any room could hold. She always was looking out for others, taking time to pray with you or for you whether you knew it or not. She loved baking brownies for the office and always talking with the young sailors giving advice on life. I will truly miss our phone calls talking about family and praying always ending in laughter. She was truly one of God's angels sent to bless all that knew her. She will forever be in my heart. Rest in Heaven Angie I will see you again John 14:1-3 Elvira Posey

Miss Angela Parks was a sweet loving lady she didn't just speak when she saw you; you also got a smile and a Big Loving Hug. Theirs so much going on in this world that God calling his good loving Angles home one-by-one and it was her time to go home, He always take his best, because they are filled with love. I called upon the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me in the Heavenly Gardens.(PSALM 118:5
This by far is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, words cannot describe the pain I feel, I'm struggling with this...
The bond between mother and son is unparalleled to any relationship ever known, unconditional, unwarranted and effortless. Stronger then any love that is shown. The compassion, the dedication. I know all to often I've tested your patients. A mother is one who understands the things you say and do.Who always overlooks your faults and sees the best in you. You believed in me when no one else did. I'm happy I've made you proud.
Your loving son "Jermaine"
My auntie love Music! She would turn the volume on high.I remember she use to wake us up on a Saturday Morning clean up y'all not going to sleep your life away get up I said get up time to clean up. She will be missed
Our hearts are heavy as we remember our dear cousin Angela. She was always so cheerful and kind, especially to my mother Louise. Please know family that you are in our thoughts and prayers. The Bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. (2Corinthians 5:8) Rest in heaven dear Angela.
To the PARKS Family I would like to say "MAY THE LORD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER COMFORT YOU DURING THIS IMMEDIATE TIME OF Sis. Parks Transitioning AND IN ALL OF THE AFTER TIME..." FOR, SHE WAS A VERY HAPPY AND JOYFUL INDIVIDUAL. Sis. Dianne Powell McLendon (FTHCM-ATL)
