To the Zara family,
If God is, He is everywhere present. He is not an occasional visitor, nor ever more truely present tha at this very instant. He is always ready to flow into our heart; Indeed, He is there now—it is we who are at times absent. Lean on Him… With love, Karen Alexander
I am the oldest Grand-daughter of William & Amelia True. Some of my fondest memories [while visiting my Grandparents] were when Mrs. Zara would come up the walk with her homemade cinnamon rolls. This beautiful woman would laugh with my Grand-mother with such vigor. Her warm eyes would made my heart feel so good. I would like to offer the Zara Family my condolences. Mrs. {Annie} Zara will be cemented in my mind forever.
Respectfully,

Dear Zara Family,
It is with great sadness that I sign this Guestbook. I was a childhood friend of Chi Chi and spent hours in Anna & Albert's home. Oh!!! the wonderful Sunday meals and snacks after Mass. The great time spent at Audra Park, cinnamon rolls and donuts. Anna is a beautiful part of my childhood memories. God Bless her, Donna Hartman Rock
