Our deepest, most heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family in this time of need. I have the fondest memories of Mrs. Parra and having the privilege of having her as a neighbor on Mundy Street. My Grandma, Mary Rodriguez, and Mrs. Parra would always play practical jokes on each other. She will be sorely missed.
