Burch-Senser, Aria Joy "Buggy" passed away on February 6, 2019 in Minneapolis at age 13. Aria Joy was a light from the moment she came bursting into our lives on March 21, 2005. She was a vivacious, loving, and talented young woman who shared her love of the arts with everyone around her. Whether she was singing, acting, drawing, dancing, writing poetry, or creating music videos, her raw talent made it unmistakable: She was an artist through-and-through. Aria loved people because of their souls; she was a great judge of character, an incredible friend, and a loving cousin to each new addition to her family. Her kindness and compassion for those around her showed a level of love that we feel so lucky to have seen. Aria will continue to inspire us all as we each find our own inner rockstar and proudly let it shine. We love you, Buggy, and your light will shine forever in our hearts. Preceded in death by great-grandmothers Eileen Senser and Sharon Rackner. Survived by loving parents Brittani Senser and Rico Burch; stepfather Aaron Cosgrove; grandparents Gini and Gary Rackner, Joe and Amy Senser, Vianne and Fela Burch, and Keith Olson; great-grandmother Jackie Adams; aunts and uncles Ashlee, Hannah, and Molly Senser, Danika Burch, Sade (Dyshon) Goss, Jason (Kristin) Rackner, and Cameron (Tali) Rackner; cousins Lucia, Ellis, Julian, Rozaria, RJ, Davyn, and Dyshon; and countless more family and friends.
