When Quanah’s good friend Charles Goodnight heard about the plans to bury Quanah next to his mother, he wrote, “It is proper that he should be buried by his mother as he, one time, had six wives and . . . could not easily be buried by the side of all.”

I’m not from Texas - although born there - but I love these stories and knew right away who Quannah was.

No one can say this story doesn't bear a deep lesson from God.

And the Parker family had the privilege (and sacrifice) to convey it to us.
