My condolences to all of you during this time at the loss of your beloved mother, where she has gone on only to prepare a room for you all. I will surely miss seeing her out and about in the community, always telling me how David, Lillian, and the rest of you were doing. You are blessed with a wonderful mother. - Look forward to the day you see her again! You are in my heart and prayers.

I used to give "La Mera Mera" a ride to our Union Protectiva Femenina meetings. Loved hearing the stories she shared about Agua Fria and of her husband and kids. I'll always remember Connie dressed to the "9s" and smiling - I don't think she ever met a stranger. With COVID the U.P. is not saying the Rosary for our Hermanas, but I do want to give Connie our send off: Descansa en Paz Hermana, Descansa en Paz Hermana, Descansa en Paz Hermana. xoxoxoxo

What a wonderful lady. She lived a very full life and spread joy and faith to everyone. She also had a good sense of humor. She told me once that she had 12 kids in a row until the plumbing broke down. Blessings to the Prada family especially to Nena who was a special person in my life for over eight years. Ron Hammond
