Dr. Azar and Family,

I'm sadden by the untimely death of Mrs. Azar. She was truly a beautiful person inside and out. I can remember the days when she would come and pick Alexander up from aftercare. She would spend atleasst an hour each day just talking with me about the kids and Mr. Azar. Although she was a career woman she placed her family before all of that and she truly loved them. I know that there are words that I can say that will take will that the pain away but know that GOD will never place more on you then you can bare. My prayers are with you GOD bless......
