Arria died peacefully in her sleep last night.  Allison arrived earlier in the evening from Portugal and the family joined in prayer led by our close friend, Rev. Cathy George at 7 PM.  Once Allison arrived Arria knew it was time to leave us.  Because of the rarity of her neurological disease it was Arria’s last wish that her body be donated to science for research.  Massachusetts General Hospital will be performing the autopsy and her remains will be returned to New Hampshire for cremation.  The family will be holding a private memorial service later this month.  There will be a public celebration of Arria’s life here at our home next summer.  It is Arria’s request that anyone who wishes to attend is invited, but no one should feel an obligation do to so.  So typical of Arria.

After the struggle Arria faced over the last twelve months she got her wish — she is finally resting in a quieter place.  I am relieved for her, and while I already miss her terribly I know this was the time for her to go.  I am at peace also.

A Celebration of Life for Arria was held on July 15, 2023.  Doug Bryant, Steve Brown, Ken Richardson, Wally Schlech, John Untereker (standing), Bill Ervin, Gordon Clapp (standing), Phil Cantelon, Steve Latham, and Geo Estes represented our class.
