We were heartbroken to learn of Demi's death. Our first thoughts were that it could not possibly be true - that the bright, sparkly and beautiful girl we knew and loved could have left her life so soon. We will always remember Demi and Gabby and their laughter and joy when they were together! Bitburg was a special time for them and they shared a special bond. We always told Demi we knew we would see her on TV or in the movies someday - with all her comedy and drama! We know God will not answer our why questions, but will comfort us if we keep our faith in Him. We cannot possible know what He has in store, we just know we have to live through the timing of it. Know that your friends from Bitburg, who now live in Texas, are grieving for you and with you.##imported-begin##Susan and Ray Ussery##imported-end##
Dear Frank and Gwen,
Our hearts broke into pieces this morning when we learned of the sudden, unexpected death of your dear daughter, Demi, and we cannot imagine the depth of your sorrow.
We wish we had words to comfort and sustain you in your grief, but we know there are none that will take away the pain you are feeling now. Our heart aches for you, Frank and Gwen, and our arms long to embrace you. Even our knees know your grief, as we have been on them in prayer for you and your family.
Although words seem futile now in the midst of your sorrow, they are all we have to give you. Please accept these written words as warm hugs to wrap yourself in, and know that we are holding you, your children and the rest of your family in our hearts at this sad and difficult time.
We are so sorry we will miss the services as we are in Arizona and will not return to WA until Labor Day. Please know we will continue our prayers asking God to help you find the strength to get through each of the coming days.
With all our love,
Pat Block and Steve Kubota##imported-begin##Pat Block & Steve Kubota##imported-end##
To my Dear Friend Coach Frank Parker and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Demi. Words cannot express the emotions that I have felt the past couple of days. Frank you have demonstrated your love and passion for your kids ever since I met you. Your desire to see your kids succeed is second to none. You have been more than a perfect example to me and the entire Riverside Women's Basketball Program. My prayers are with you, your precious wife Gwyn, your son Joe, and daughter Nadia. You are a beautiful family that will continue to grow because of your loss of Demi.
I love you Frank!
