May God guide you all throughout this most difficult time. Whenever I think of Mrs. Paras, a picture immediately pops into my head of her scuttling about the church office, (St. Nicholas in Wyckoff,) but always taking a break from her tasks to greet me with a loving smile and to inquire about my life. (I was probably only 5 years old at the time... I must have given her quite an education on all the characters of Strawberry Shortcake!). However, her warmth and sincerity toward me never changed throughout the years as I grew into an adult. (Our topics of conversation did, though!) I will always have very fond memories of Mrs. Paras. Eternal be her memory, eternal be her rest.
