Gail Fairchild Parker, 78, of Vicksburg, Miss., passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones. Born in Meridian, MS, in 1947 to Benjamin and Hazel Fairchild, Gail lived a life defined by faith, kindness, and devotion to her family and community. Gail was a fervently caring woman she had a sparkle in her that brightened every room. Generous, thoughtful, and loyal, Gail touched countless lives with her kindness and unwavering faith. She was the best mother, wife, grandmother, daughter, and friend anyone could ask for. She is survived by her husband, Michael Parker, her two children, Craig Stephen Danczyk and Kimberly Danczyk Carroll, and six beloved grandchildren who lovingly called her “Gran Gran.” A true model of Christian faith, Gail dedicated her life to serving Jesus. For over 30 years, she was an active member of Crawford Street United Methodist Church, where she joyfully sang as a talented soprano in the choir and served in numerous ministries. Gail never met a stranger and was never short of a kind word, leaving a lasting impression on everyone she encountered.

Federal agents allegedly drive off with baby in car after father detained in Cypress Park raid
A father is back with his family after being detained during an immigration raid at a Cypress Park Home Depot. Federal agents allegedly drove off with his baby in the backseat.
The 32-year-old man, who is a U.S. citizen, was released after two days in custody. He was detained last Tuesday for allegedly throwing rocks at agents. According to him, agents then drove off in his car with his 1-year-old daughter still in the backseat.
“There’s a baby in the back! Yeah, bro, and the guy was doing absolutely nothing, bro,” a witness said while recording a cellphone video of the incident.
The video shows the child in the backseat, with two masked federal agents seated in the front of the vehicle. Fortunately, the baby was later released to her family. Her grandmother stated that the child had a bruised cheek but was otherwise okay.
In a related incident, cellphone video captured the moment Rafael Veraza and his family were pepper-sprayed by Border Patrol agents on a Saturday morning in the parking lot of a Sam’s Club.
