Adiós hermano. Jamás te olvidaré. Gracias por todo lo bueno que hiciste por mi. Gracias también por todo el bien que hiciste en tu tránsito por el mundo, por la familia católica que fundaste y por todos los niñitos a quienes les diste hogar. Tus hermanos, Roberto y María Rosa.

Mrs. Parada, I was saddened when I heard of Mr. Parada's passing. As I lived up the street as a child, I can remember Mr. Parada as a kind man, who would help me with my homework, talk calmingly and lovingly to all children. He will always be remembered by me. God has a new angel - May God Bless you and your family

Sue, Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband and father of your children. We will always remember Ivan through visits with your mother while she lived next door to us in Valmeyer and we always thought he was a very kind man.
