Me and Ava were  friends since kindergarten and the first time i was ever at her house i had a sleepover there and we were crawling down the stairs only using our arms. it may sound weird but that is one of my favorite memories that i have with her. halloween party’s were always so fun once she arrived.  my family always thought of her as family too. 

at one of mine and Ava’s sleepovers i remember it was in like 5th grade and it was at her birthday party,  everybody was asleep and me and ava we’re wide awake, we couldn’t sleep so we decided that we wanted to “sneak out” and go play in the snow outside in the back yard and then when we got the snow suits on basically walking out the door and then  her mom came down and yelled at us for being to loud so we couldn’t go outside and we were so upset.

Oh how miss Ava was so glued to her Mama as a young one. Beth could barely leave the room.  What a beautiful girl and a beautiful soul she had. Such a kind, sweet child.  Never will forget.
“I done  crying now, Betsy”.  When Beth left her with me for a little while one day.  God rest your soul beautiful child.  God bless you all.







Beth, Bob, Maddie and family —
Our hearts are broken for you all, and we know there are no words to comfort you at this time. We feel fortunate to have known Ava. We’ll always remember her beautiful smile and perky personality. Jeff remembers her being a prolific artist and loved the get well cards she made for him. Sending you our love and prayers.

Ava, 
I will never forget meeting you and Alli for dinner at D’Amico’s in Rice Village. You looked so cute in your green checkered dress, Maddie’s  glasses and the cool Nike kicks that Max bought you for Christmas. I could tell you were feeling good about yourself and having fun! I am so happy that I got to meet you and spend a little time with you and Big A, during your trip.  
I would give a million dollars for you to show me your signature pose just one last time.  
Please say hello to Betty White from me. 😍
Godspeed, Ava. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 
Love you Alli & Max. ❤️

I remember when mom would bring her in at Children Aid Society Day Care brought her wrapped up in a blanket and also a brush and detangler spray and fixed her hair quite often which I liked doing. Beautiful red hair. she was a toddler at the time. I am so sorry for your loss, and she will be sadly missed. I enjoyed being her teacher at the daycare.

Me and Ava were best friends, and every time we saw each other at school we would take photos and hug. That is a good memory I will keep with me forever. 

Beth and family. 
We are so sorry to hear about your daughter Ava. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Sadly, I do not have  photos to offer, but I certainly have many images of Ava as our next door neighbor.   She was a toddler at a time we became empty nesters.   I remember her coming to our front porch playing card games; Go Fish, Rummy, Crazy Eights.   I even gave her some cards to take home.  (Not sure if you liked that at the time.)  I also remember my last garage sale where I was selling a lot of Barbie doll items.   Every time I turned around, Ava was there collecting another Barbie to take home.   So many images of her makes me smile because she had the prettiest smile.   So sad she's gone too soon.  Hearts and prayers to you through this difficult time.   I am so grateful that Ava was part of our lives as well.   Thank you and God Bless.

Barb and I were deeply saddened upon learning of Ava’s passing. You have our sincere, heartfelt condolences. May your grief be short-lived and the celebration of her life be eternal. If you’re inclined to believe, then you know she was met by her old buddy from across the street with a popsicle in hand. Nothing but my good thoughts are with you.
