Birthday Memorial Gathering

On Sunday, June 14, a small gathering of family members and friends gathered at Aria's resting place, under the old carob tree. "When we are quiet, I can really feel Aria's presence..." said one of Aria's friends. The mountains around, the beautiful trees, and the sweet serenity were harmonizing with our spoken words, the smiles, and our tears.

It was nine months since Aria left her physical body. It was a few days after her 18th birthday. She is still beating steadily

in so many hearts.
