Congratulations Zary, so proud of you.
Zary is an incredible caring, loving and helful person. I myself experienced her generosity and care in many ways, I remembered when I didn’t have a place to stay, she take me into her home even tough she and her husband were living in a very small one bedroom apartment and she wasn’t working at the time. But the must amazing thing about Zary is that she helps not only her friends but anyone that is in need. She really is an inspiration, a blessing and an example to follow for all of us.
Zary, gracias por ser como eres y por tocar de tantas maneras maravillosas la vida de tantas personas. Eres la # 1. Que Dios te bendiga.
I agree. Zary has a zest for helping others that is truly above and beyond the norm. She is a joy.
