I only knew Mrs. Arias for a few years, but in those years, I learned quite a bit about her and her family, her culture and the love that she had for her daughter Rosemary and her grand & great grandchildren.She will be truly missed by myself and my family who she treated as life long friends. May God bless her and keep her is his glory.
