Arija Pilskalns Schwerdtfeger passed on to her next big adventure earlier this month, but in her last days requested that a farewell be posted here, on her behalf.
As per her instructions she was privately cremated.
We will be holding a family ceremony in the spring, to commemorate her life and scatter her remains among her beloved roses.
