I knew Adria for 5 years professionally, but she grew to become a friend. I see her being surrounded by beautiful forests and lakes like she always loved with no suffering or pain. To Adria's family I give my sympathies and condolances. She was a beautiful person.

To Adria's husband and family. My deepest condolences for the loss of Adria.
I worked with Adria for six years 2003-2009 at the Des Moines airport with TSA. She and I always had a common connection being that we are both from Central IL (Tazewell County) I will always have fond memories of Adria and I working the passenger and baggage screening areas together. She was always fun to work with and made the shift go by fast. When we were swamped with passengers and baggage it was Adria I would want to work with. She really knew how to sling bags and deal with the passengers.

Ron and family, It is a great loss for a lot of us with the passing of Adria. She was a friend, co-worker and one I felt a special bound as if she was my Sister. In times like these, we try to express to the family how sorry we are for the loss of a loved one, however my sorrow is far greater than any words can convey. It may be of little comfort, but know many of us share the great pain caused by the loss of Adria.

Ron - my heartfelt prayers for your comfort in the days to come. Indeed, she no longer has pain or worry. That said, there is also a hole in your life. May your memory of Adria never fade, but may the pain ease as time progresses. May God watch over you and your family.
