My brother Bobby and I were blessed to have met Mrs. Parr at the very beginning of our Villages journey. I am humbled to be able to say that she was a friend to me all through the 20 years I have been here thus far.
On a funny note, every time she would be so gracious to make me one of her world famous pies, it was supposed to be shared with the entire staff, but I guess today I should admit what she already knows. That is to say, the pie would go straight from the front door of the business, where she would be so gracious to drop it off, right out the back, to where I was parked. The staff was not happy with me, as they knew what was in the package. Oh well. I can't say I am regretful, but just trying to come clean. I know she is laughing, and saying in her very motherly voice, "I already knew Jay."
I always think of her with one word, "elegance."
She was in my humble opinion, the Barbara Bush of The Villages.
I know she is living on in our community through her grand kids.
Love Jay
