“La Llorona, or the “Weeping Woman,” has been walking the banks of waterways in the Southwest and Latin America for a long time, lamenting the children she drowned to get revenge on her wayward husband.

Mary Larona, a descendent of one of Yuma’s founding fathers, can remember a much smaller Yuma and a time when sounds carried throughout the city. Sounds from the river.”
