LILLIAN ROSE PARRA

I'm so glad I was able to see my Aunt Lillian once more at the family picnic in Portland last summer. I'll always remember her so full of life and energy! Best wishes cousins, from my family to yours...

To the family of Lillian Parra,

I knew Lil from my first years at the San Diego Opera and I could immediately discern that she was a very special person, innately kind, gentle, and helpful. I continued my association with the opera for many years and she was always one of the first persons I looked for when I returned to town. I always felt we had a special bond.

I am truly sorry to hear that this great lady has left us. I know that she is missed by the many people with...

My dear sweet earth Angel - I miss you! I will CHERISH YOUR friendship and your kind spirit WE love you always and forever...Love, Connie & David

We missed Lil when she retired, but now we really miss her. But she'll always be in our thoughts and hearts. Thanks for sharing your mom with us - she was truly the best!

To Lil's family,

I was so sorry to hear, belatedly, of Lil's passing. She was a truly wonderful and joyous person and I will always remember & cherish having crossed paths with her. Though most all my 20+ years at San Diego Opera were spent "out on the road", I always made a point of stopping to see Lil on my times in the office. She always made my day! I hope you had some good times together during her all-too-short retirement -- although she was never the "retiring" type! Lil was...

Dear Pam, Tony and Barbara,
Aunt Lillian was a second mom to me when I was living with you in Imperial Beach. She taught me many things, one was how to be a loving and caring person. I was very fortunate to have been able to see her this past summer at the family picnic and visit with her. She was a wonderful person and I will miss her very much. If you need to talk please call at 360-448-7620 anytime. Love you all, your cousin Sharon (Vancouver, WA)

Dear Pam, Tony and Barbara, My sincere condolences to you all. I never had the opportunity to meet your mother as an adult, and after reading the other entries, I missed knowing a wonderful person. May your memories of her help you through this difficult time. Your cousin, Erich Neupert, Sacramento, CA.

Dear Pam, Tony & Barbara, your mom was one of a kind, a gentle, loving person. I wish I could have seen more of all of you. Please accept my sincere condolences. Your cousin, Lynn

Dear Barbara, Tony, and Pam,

Your Mom was one of the most beloved and generous individuals I have ever known. To see her PT flame-striped Cruiser in the the parking lot was to know that everything was OK upstairs---Lil' was on the job. And she was always MORE than on the job. She took a genuine and special interest in each person with whom she interacted. She knew the names of our family members, our pets, what our interests were; she simply and amazingly cared. Lil was here...
