Aunt Mary and uncle Pete will always hold a special place in my heart. Aunt Mary was always smiling, happy, loving, and always concerned about my welfare. She made me feel special. I know aunt Mary and uncle Pete are with the LORD and all our blessed family members that have gone before us, praying hard for us all. Liz and Richard, you are in our hearts and prayers.

Prayers for the family. I will remember how she always helped my mom sew our cheerleading outfits when we were younger. I will miss how much she helped my parents when they needed help. May she rest in peace.

I was sorry to learn about Mrs. Parra's death. She will be fondly remembered for her broad range of interests she actively pursued--from Catholicism to the symphony to higher education to golfing--and in general for her contagious enthusiasm for life. Mrs. Parra was so kind to me, often going out of her way to help me, such as the time she nominated me for a scholarship which I later received. I extend my deepest sympathy to Mary Elizabeth and to Richard for the loss of their beloved mother.
