SANFORD --
Michelle Parker's family said they are not losing hope, and now it helps to spend time with the missing Orlando woman's kids.
Parker's mother, Yvonne Stewart, finally got to see her twin grandchildren over the weekend. She said she wants to remain an active part of her grandchildren lives and is thrilled an agreement has been reached. She said she has had very little contact with the kids since Parker went missing.
Attorney Matt Morgan, who is representing Parker's family, spoke to Fox Sunday night:
We were able to come to an agreement in regards to the visitation, regarding the grandchildren. Yvonne is spending the evening decorating the Christmas tree with the children, and she's, you know, beyond happy to be with them right now.
The whole family, Lauren [Erickson, Parker's sister], spent time with them today, and everyone's very happy right now.
Parker's 3-year-old son and daughter had been staying with their father, Dale Smith II, since their mother dropped them off with him on November 17. She has not been seen since.
Orlando police have called Smith their prime suspect in Parker's disappearance, but he has not been arrested or charged in the case.
Parker's family said the children do not know their mother has not been seen for nearly a month. Family members have told the kids that their mother is on vacation.
