Sending our deepest condolences to your family. Ligita will be remembered fondly for her great sense of humour while sitting around the dining room table at family events when I was younger. May your memories be a blessing and we are sending lots of love during this difficult time.

From the very first day I met Ligita, she has made a lasting impression on my heart. She had a warm, kind heart and a sweet personality. She always welcomed me with a watm embrace and kiss and made me feel so much at home in her presence. She was easy to talk to and loved to listen attentively to whatever I had to say and her encouraging words always made me hopeful for tomorrow. In the short time I’ve known her I’ve come to love and respect her and her husband and I know deep down I will miss her dearly. Gone but will never be forgotten. Rest aim Peace my dear friend🙏❤️🥰 and my all her family and friends be comforted and consoled as u say your final early Goodbuys to her 🙏🙏🙏
