"And so I told them to keep in touch 'cause I wanted to know about it. I gave them my cell number. They followed me [on social media]. I followed them back. And so we talk and I've sent them Christmas cards," Parks laughs.
"Well, we call 'em holiday cards because I have friends from every faith. We do holiday cards. We always do a little prayer and you know, for people just to wish them great things, good energy and all that stuff."
