Recently, she had become more spiritual and mastered the art of Tarot Card reading. Can’t forget her love of movies like “Stepbrothers” and” The Temptations”, she could watch them repeatedly and laugh like it was her first, every time! Par had great dreams of teaming with her Aunt Denise and opening a daycare center, like her Aunt Kim. She desired to teach children at a young age, support them in them of need, and ensure they were always loved and cared for. Paris was a member of a large family.

Remember to love one another just as much a Par loved you, she would be sadly missed.
