Mark and Family,
I am sending my sincerest condolences to you all at this difficult time.

Zory, you will always be a dear friend. You always had a smile and time for everyone.  You will forever be missed.

Mark and family you will always be in my prayers.

I am completely heartbroken.

Zory was my very first clinical supervisor, and I will always be grateful for the confidence she gave me when I was just starting out. She played such a meaningful role in shaping the clinician I am today and helped me find my calling.

What I will remember most is her bright smile and calming presence. She was compassionate, uplifting, and genuinely deeply cared about people. No matter how much she had on her plate, she always made herself available to anyone who needed her. She showed me what true compassion, kindness, dedication, and leadership looks like, and I will carry those lessons with me throughout my career.

When I passed my LMSW exam, she was the very first person I called because I wanted to share that accomplishment with the person who helped me get there. There aren’t enough flowers in the world to express how much she meant to me

Thank you, Zory, for the light you brought into so many lives, including mine. I feel incredibly lucky to have known you, and I will never forget you. I will carry everything you taught me with me, always. You will forever be missed. 

My deepest condolences to Zory’s family, friends, and everyone who loved her. My heart goes out to all who are grieving this unimaginable loss. May you find comfort in the incredible legacy of kindness, compassion, and love that she leaves behind. May her memory continue to be a source of comfort and inspiration to all who knew her. May she rest in eternal peace.

Zory gave me my first full time job as a clinician at Astor Services back in 2018 and then really went to bat for me in providing an incredible opportunity to grow in my career a few years later as clinic supervisor. I'll always cherish the memories I have of her in both a professional and personal context. She was my "work mom," and I will miss her dearly. My sincerest condolences to her family.

On behalf of everyone at Astor, and on a personal note, I extend my deepest condolences to Zory family and loved ones.

Zory dedicated many years of her professional life to Astor, and during that time she worked alongside countless colleagues, many of whom remain part of our organization today. Long careers leave lasting impressions, and her passing will undoubtedly bring back many memories for those who had the opportunity to know and work with her.

While our journeys sometimes take different paths, moments like these remind us to honor the years of service, commitment, and relationships that become part of an organization's history. We are grateful for the contributions she made during her time at Astor and recognize the role she played in our shared story.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, and all who are mourning her loss. May they find comfort in the love that surrounds them and in the memories they will always cherish.

With deepest sympathy,

Yvette Bairan
CEO
Astor Services

I have known Zory for over 40 years. We were getting ready for our 40th high school reunion. She and Mark connected on my MySpace page when I would organize meet ups in NYC.  She attended just about everything I coordinated. It isn’t going to be the same without her. We CSHS class of 86 alum are devastated. We are going to miss her terribly.
