, TX Sunday, October 16, 2016 Dear Parr family,I am sad to read of the news that your mother has passed. I remember well the days of the Clover Belles, and going up and down the alley from our house to yours. Your mom was always friendly and welcomed me into your home. I'm sure her death will leave a void for you all. May God give you comfort now as you anticipate the great reunion that awaits.
In His Peace, Hack and Nancy Hank
